It is a Mexican slang term for someone who just likes to fuck around and play jokes on people, and/or someone who's always killing your trip and embarrassing you.
Man, Jose really needs to get his shit together and stop being a "caga palo" before he gets his ass kicked, and doesn't graduate.

A really small town in the heart of California where everyone is related to eachother by blood or marrige. Football is huge here and so is gossip. A fair comes around every summer just before school starts, it has 2 rides. This is a time where all the recently High School graduated females bring their new born babies to show off to the incomming seniors and community. It's very hard to pick up your bags and continue your life else where. About 15% of the graduated students move out of the the central valley and then 5% of that actually come back to build their family here. Theres one bar in town, which is the thing to do for the 40 and up. Then theres "The River" for the 25 and under. The cops here are unfortunately crooked and the teachers might as well not have their degrees. It's all about who you know to get any job here.
Guy1: Whats there to do here in Dos Palos?
Guy2: We can go get mojos and watch a movie if the theater happens to be open today. Or just hang out in front of the doughnut shop or the pizza factory. Or ride around town in my dads lifted truck listening to country music.
Guy1: WTF I moved here from the bay area for this?!!
Guy2: Just wait, a girl will crawl up to you and then you guys will have babies you'll work at some factory while she goes to school online and both of you guys will show up to the summer fair with your new born and have arguments every week and throw house parties for high school kids.
Guy1: Fuck you that'll never happen

Spanish "Tall Tree", a city in Western California by San Francisco. Palo Alto is home to many intelligent and not always, rich people. Palo Alto is home to Stanford University and many multi-million dollar computer companies. Palo Alto is bahsed by po folks who are fucking jealous of it.

This community is wealthy and has a top rating for the public schools, but it is still one of the most bigoted and elitist communities ever. The people there act like they are against racism and care so much about black people, yet one of their high schools had years of racial incidents. The only reason why the high schools rank so well although there is a lot of work is because the parents pay for the best tutors for their kids. Most of the teachers don't contribute shit for either of the school's top rankings. And yet the school system puts so little value into mental health and more into the test scores they can show off to the rest of the country!
There is literally nothing to do here. All the teens like to do here is fight, party, and smoke and then just jump on social media when they get home, yet they still exclude people. This community is not like the rest of LA county. It's not diverse, there is very little to do, and it is it's own community. You'll have an easier time getting to know the Mexicans that don't even live there but commute there from other areas to do manual labor for residents and the schools there.

I grew up and lived in Palos Verdes. It was effortlessly easy making friends with people who worked for the residents there but it took more effort to make friends with my classmates. There was nothing to do but be depressed cause school was too hard and I wasn't included in the social scene.

living within the palo alto bubble is pleasant, because palo alto has a lot of genuinely good people. i remember whenever caltrain stopped at palo alto, the train operator would announce: "palo alto, friendly village". no other train stop would get a comment like this.
palo alto is materialistic. we really enjoy spending money, eating out and living large. there is a peaceful, tolerant, beautiful vibe in palo alto with a tinge of ignorance.
palo alto is not the ideal town for young people. nearly everyone who grows up here ends up leaving to seek out and discover the real world. they seek excitement and danger because they have lived their lives sheltered for so long with everything served on a silver platter.
you will usually see K-12 kids and middle-aged people walking the streets.
there exists a pestilent substance-abusing underground which many of the high schoolers who spend their parents' money on weed, alcohol, cocaine and ecstasy inhabit.
also, some kids growing up here hate this town.
gunn is extremely overrated. the students are more concerned with getting into a highly prestigious college, as if this guarantees high income. its quite a delusion that pervades gunn. academic achievement is valued over actual life-learning. the GPA matters more than your actual skills! that is why many people ive talked to say they absolutely hate gunn, and i've had a damaging experience there as well.

I gotta correct some misconceptions about PV. Yes, it's affluent, but it's not nearly as showy and plastic as, say, Beverly Hills or Brentwood. It has a very small town feel. And yes, it has no night life, but we like it that way. It's quiet. It has trees. It has nature. It has wild animals. It has few street lights. We live here because we hate downtown LA, Orange County, and other concrete overly developed jungles. It's a beautiful oasis in a sea of ugly cities. We get the benefits of both worlds. We can leave The Hill into the lower cesspool for whatever we need, but can return back to the sweet peace. PV rocks.
Bottom line, if someone wanted to be a show-off and flaunt their wealth to the masses, Palos Verdes ain't the place they would do it. Most of the people are very down to earth and nice in my experience.

all of these definitions are correct, for the most part. just one thing, not everyone is as bitchy and snobby as they're made up to be. it's okay to drive something that isn't a bmw/mercedes/any other expensive car. we've got our bitches, but which town doesn't?
