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

/Sounds like "dehs" (as in "debt") + "chah" (as in "chat") + "BAHR" (as in "bar")/

Meaning

To spill a secret, expose something hidden, or accidentally reveal what someone wanted kept quiet. In Argentina, deschavar is that moment when a plan falls apart because someone talked too much. It can be intentional betrayal or just a careless slip.

Examples

You accidentally outed him when you mentioned it in front of everyone.

Be careful what you say, don't go spilling the secret.

A cheapskate who will not let go of money no matter what. The agarrado always has an excuse not to pay and conveniently goes blank when the check arrives.
