Meaning
A Mexican verb meaning that something slipped out accidentally, escaped your mouth when you shouldn't have said it. "Se me chispoteó" was the iconic catchphrase of El Chavo del 8 whenever he revealed a secret by accident, and from there it entered the popular Mexican vocabulary. It's the "oh no, I shouldn't have said that" moment, except it's too late, you already said it and everyone heard.
