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

/Sounds like the English word "bolet" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To publicly expose or embarrass someone by revealing their secrets, lies, or failures in front of others. When someone boletea you, they put you on blast and all you can do is stand there and take the shame. Common in Mexico and Colombia.

Examples

She put me on blast in front of everyone saying I hadn't paid.

Don't expose me, dude, nobody knows I failed.
