Pelas come in degrees of severity: 1. A small pela usually comes in the form of a hand slap. 2. A medium pela usually involves a leather belt or the power chord of any appliance closest to the person giving the pela. 3. Una gran pela (big pela) usually begins with something flying towards you like a chancleta, shoe, plate, silverware, or remote control, followed by the pelas described in #2 and #1. In addition, calling for help will only make it worse.
