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

/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "LOO" (as in "loop") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

The feminine form of "boludo," this can be either an insult or a term of endearment between female friends in Argentina, depending entirely on the tone. "Ay boluda" is the universal opener for any piece of gossip between women in Buenos Aires, functioning almost like "girl" or "dude" in English when used affectionately.

Examples

Oh girl, you won't believe what happened to me yesterday.

Don't be stupid, that guy is no good for you.

Regional synonyms

The person everyone blames when something goes wrong, the narrative scapegoat of any group conflict. Across Latin America and Spain, ser el malo de la pelicula means being cast as the villain of the story, sometimes just for telling the truth nobody wanted to hear.
