pau

Pronounced: "pow." Not sure of spelling. It meant, "all gone."

Common word when I was a waitress in Hawaii, many years ago. As in, "Teriyaki chicken is pau." All gone. No more.

There. I spent so much time researching the word and the spelling, and Hawaiian language, and couldn't find it, that I forgot where I was going with this word.

Something is pau.
