/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "LAHR" (as in "lava") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
In Colombian popular speech, to die or be on the verge of death. Also used hyperbolically for something that nearly finished you off.

“I nearly pelé bola from the scare they gave me.”

Bobo
A silly or naive person who gets fooled easily. One of the mildest insults in Caribbean and Latin American Spanish, more "goofy" than genuinely offensive. Calling someone a bobo means they are not reading the situation clearly.
