Arabic term or phrase: بورد
منذر وعبد اللطيف وسعد وأسامة يصرخون بأعلى صوتهم «خروب بارد»... «تعا بووورد»... «شوبت يا شباب»،

from this article: http://international.daralhayat.com/internationalarticle/161... talking about carob juice sellers in Ramallah, Palestine

I thought it might be "cool down" pronounced bawwwwrid, but I'm not sure.

Thank you

Explanation:
صحة العبارة جزئيا باللهجة الفلسطينية
تعال بررررررررررد
شربت ياشباب
refresh your self
feel more cool
واللهجة الفلسطينية قريبة من اللهجة العراقية في كلمة شربت
وتعني عصير
