"Pamba" is when many people (a group of friends) hit with their hands open someone's head because he/she has made a mistake. "Pamba loca" is a bit more "aggressive".
she is right.
no es una palabra en español , la verdad no tengo el significado. pero es cuando un grupo de amigos golpean a alguien en la cabeza por grupos , por hacer errores
tambien le dicen pampa con pica hielo para que le duela mas la cabeza al pobre.. creo que han jugado este "juego".

Aunque nunca falta el abusivo, se hace en plan de juego y no se trata de que nadie salga lastimado... al menos nunca he visto a nadie salir mal de una pamba.


Por cierto, a mí también me da curiosidad saber cómo se dice en inglés un "ataque" semejante, que es la pregunta del inicio y aún no ha sido respondida.

A friend may certainly hit another friend on the head for making a mistake, or doing something dumb, but I've never heard of a group of friends planning or participating in such an event.

We have something called a 'dogpile'. This is when a group of friends jumps on top of an unexpecting 'victim'. The person at the bottom of the pile isn't necessarily in danger, unless too much weight is applied. No hitting is done. The person at the bottom usually yells for people to get off before any real damage occurs.

Lo que escribiste en español explica muy bien lo que es 'dogpile', pero no estoy seguro de que bolita sea la palabra que se usa.

jugar a las bolitas = to play marbles
