In TKD {pa'} is defined as "room". It is used to translate "chamber"
on the KBoP poster ({cha'puj pa'} = "dilithium chamber"). In KGT, it's
defined as "enclosed area" and marked as "(slang)" in the K-E side,
but not the E-K side.

So the "(slang)" in the definition above applies only to the last
definition, though the way it's written leaves this unclear. The
"source" is also misleading, as TKD defines it only as "room".

Since {pa'} isn't mentioned in the section on slang so far as I can remember, since it only appears as slang on one side of the word lists, and since "enclosed area" more or less means "room" anyway, I'm inclined to believe this isn't slang at all.
