pol favol

Puerto Rican Spanish for "please". The standard Spanish word for please is "por favor", but Puerto Ricans have a tendency to pronounce their final "r" as "l". "Pol favol" is used by a native Puerto Rican spontaneously, or by a non-Puerto Rican making fun of a Puerto Rican's accent.

1. Ay, bendito, pol favol!
(oh, goodness, please! -- very Puerto Rican!)

2. You dare to deny your Puerto Rican heritage when you say "pol favol"? Ay, pol favol!!!
