Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "tee" (as in "tea") + "DOHR" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A snitch or informant who tells everything they know to whoever holds authority. In Argentine slang, from the lunfardo word "batir" (to talk, to rat someone out). Calling someone a batidor is a serious insult in street and prison slang.

Examples

El batidor los entregó a todos antes de que pudieran salir.

The snitch gave everyone up before they could even get out.

No hables de más delante de ese, es un batidor conocido.

Don't say too much around him, he's known for ratting people out.

Word family

Dough stuffed with meat, chicken, cheese, or whatever you can think of, fried or baked to perfection. Every country has their own version and everyone swears theirs are the best.
