Bandera de España

/Sounds like 'boh-KAH-sahs'/

A blabbermouth — someone who can't keep a secret to save their life or who talks way too much without thinking. In Spain, bocazas is that friend you never tell anything important because by morning the whole neighborhood knows. Harmless but absolutely unreliable with information.

Example

"Le dije un secreto y lo contó todo, menudo bocazas. → "I told him a secret and he told everyone — what a blabbermouth."

"No seas bocazas y cállate un rato. → "Stop running your mouth and be quiet for a minute."

Regional synonyms:

Expresión de sorpresa o desconcierto, como quedarse sin palabras ante algo inesperado. Viene del cómic Condorito y se usa cuando algo te deja tan confundido que no sabes ni qué responder.
