/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "too" (as in "tool") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
Someone who limps or walks with an irregular, unsteady gait, due to a twisted ankle, flat feet, or some other condition. In Mexico and Central America the word is used bluntly, sometimes just descriptive, sometimes with a mocking or affectionate edge depending on the relationship.

“He walks in a really strange way, apparently he has had flat feet since he was a kid.”
