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

/Sounds like "BOHR" (as in "boat") + "loh" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

A party or any kind of gathering, from a small hangout to three consecutive days of no sleep. Distinctly northwestern Mexican slang from Sinaloa and Sonora, where "borlo" covers the full spectrum of celebrations.

Examples

Are you going to Héctor's party this Saturday? They say it's going to be a good one.

It was a three-day straight celebration; nobody even knew what day it was anymore.

Regional synonyms

A snitch or rat who tells on others to the authorities or exposes their secrets without being asked. In Argentina and Uruguay, the buchon is one of the most socially condemned figures: they broke the code, they talked, and now nobody can trust them again.
