/Sounds like 'bem-beh-TEH-oh'/
Neighborhood gossip, chitchat, and the kind of hearsay that spreads through a block like wildfire in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Bembeteo is the social glue of Caribbean street life — equal parts entertainment and rumor mill, happening on stoops, in barbershops, and wherever people gather.
"No hagas caso al bembeteo de la vecina. → "Don't pay attention to the neighbor's gossip."
"Hay mucho bembeteo sobre esa pareja. → "There's a lot of neighborhood talk about that couple."

Botanear
Comer botanas, snacks o aperitivos mientras se toma algo o se platica con amigos en México. Es ese ritual sagrado de picar entre comidas que convierte cualquier reunión casual en una sesión de antojitos compartidos.
