I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THIS MEANING INTO ENGLISH.
Do you know it?

It would be nice to know what it means in Spanish. Then we may be able to provide you with a good English translation.

Well, I know that a Pampa is a palm tree and maybe pampaloca would be a weed that grows wild maybe in the Phillipines.

I know palm tree as palmera. The only pampas I know of are the vast fertile plains in and around Argentina.

Pampa - is a Palm tree that grows mainly in the Phillipines and they use its wood to make chests.......treasure chests

Oh, OK. I was thinking in terms of Spanish.

I never heard this word before. It sounds like a mix of Pampa argentina and loca, but surely I'm wrong

Could it be "pamba loca"?

"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".
