/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "NEH" (as in "net") + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

A ban or block of your account on a platform, game, or online community as punishment for breaking the rules. A baneo can be temporary (days or weeks) or permanent depending on the offense. The digital punishment everyone dreads: you get kicked out and, in serious cases, there is no coming back.

Examples

Le dieron un baneo de siete días por insultar en el chat.

They gave him a seven-day ban for insulting people in the chat.

Me banearon de la comunidad de Reddit sin ningún aviso previo.

Word family
Regional synonyms

The food someone packs up for you to take home after a party, family meal, or visit, wrapped in aluminum foil or tupperware. The word comes from Náhuatl "itacatl" (travel provisions), and in Mexico it is almost a ritual: when you leave grandma's house or any family gathering, you never leave empty-handed. The itacate is love in the form of leftovers.
