Pamba

By JulioSueco
10 April 2019 2 Min Read

En una conversación de barrio con mis antiguos compas del terre allá en Tijuas baja califas salió a luz una vieja palabra de esas de la juventud. Amenacé a alguien con darle una buena pamba.

En mis tiempos, o sea en milnovecientosochenta y pico, darle pamba a alguien en Tijuana era darle una buena y merecida zarandeada fí­sica y en la cabeza a alguien. Se le daban zopetes com se dice en México. Para los incautos ajenos al español mexicano eso es darle de golpes en la cabeza a alguien. exempli gratia:
ey, miren: esos dos son putos. Vamos a darles pamba a los putos.
— Las batallas en el desierto, José Pacheco.

dar “pamba” significa amortinarse sobre una persona y golpearla en la cabeza…
usualmente se le llama “pamba loca” jaja, pero es el “conjunto” de golpes suaves que se le dan a la persona en la cabeza.

Etimologí­a:
Pamba.(De pambaceada.)f. Tunda, paliza, golpes en la cabeza con la palma de la mano. || dar pamba.loc. Propinar una pamba.pambaceada.(De pambacear.)f. Tunda, paliza.pambacear.(De pambazo’golpe’.) tr.
