EN: to hit; to strike; to spank
The verb form of "Lagot ka sa nanay mo!" This is what happens when you break the "importanteng-baso-na-para-sa-bisita-lang". It's the act of hitting something or someone, whether it's spanking a naughty kid (the old-school way), hitting a baseball, or your lola hitting the jackpot on a slot machine.
From Spanish 'palo' (stick, club), from which the action is derived.
The verb form is often inflected as 'pumalo' (actor-focus) or 'paluin' (object-focus). 'Palo' as a command is also common.
