/Sounds like the English word "bolet" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
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.
“She put me on blast in front of everyone saying I hadn't paid.”
“Don't expose me, dude, nobody knows I failed.”

Bajar el cirio
To get a serious dressing-down, called out harshly and directly in Mexico. When someone bajas el cirio on you, the person in front is furious and not holding back a single word. Usually comes from a boss, a parent, or anyone with authority over you.
