I don't think is use in PR, but if you hear another that you don't know, look it up in the Jibaro Dictionary first at: http://www.jibaros.com/dicc.htm

"Babilla"
it's use in Puerto Rico by the teen agers daily, babilla means that you don't have the intention to do something that you told you can do. or you can do something that you told, you know how to do, depends the moment that he o she use the term "babilla"




"babilla significa muchas cosas, como por ejemplo

"tú no tienes babilla" significa "tú no te atreves a hacer algo" o "tú no das el grado para algo" o sea no eres competente para hacer algo, depende en que momento se use, y Sí, los jóvenes en Puerto Rico la utilizan a diario.

If you want to understand the meaning of "babilla", all you have to do is to substitute the word like in the following example: -You really don't have "babilla" to do something.
-You really don't have "the balls" to do something.

See, is like having the courage to do things that are extremely challenger.
