Answer 2

I have never heard that word and I'm hispanic. Maybe it is "pala" that means "shovel".

"Necesito una pala para remover la nieve". I need a shovel to remove the snow.

And "bola" means ball. But be careful because Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, etc., can use different words for one object; and sometimes the same word have different meanings. It can be a good word for me, but it can be an insult to another person. So when I travel to hispanic countries I always ask what means this word for them. Because I have had bad exeriences with this.

it must be "pala" for sure! - AntMexico, Feb 2, 2011

Answer 3

In photography, photographers use to say "la pola" for "a polaroid picture".

Maybe he said pala, shovel.

Or something else.

In Spain they say too "polla", but is a vulgar name for penis.

Answer 4
