palabnob - the art of approaching someone while making it clear you don't actually want to talk. usually involves one person being slightly behind and both walking at a slow, deliberate pace

she palabranoed him into her apartment under the guise of 'getting coffee', now she won't leave his side despite everything

palabnob - when you walk past someone at an airport or store and they stare, then pretend to be annoyed. it's their way of getting your attention without seeming vulnerable

this guy palabranoed me in h&m last week, he kept walking back through the checkout line just watching me until I made eye contact

@user: my boss does this at conferences so coworkers think I'm being stalky. @username: it's a lowball pick-up technique, usually doesn't work on people who've been burned before
