/Sounds like "em" + "bo" (as in "bonus") + "la" (as in "latte") + "tar" (as in "tar")/
To confuse someone, give them the runaround, or waste their time with endless detours and vague answers. In Colombia, this is what happens when you go to a government office and they send you from window to window without ever solving your problem. It can also mean to distract someone while something shady happens behind their back.
"Me embolataron toda la mañana en la oficina y no me resolvieron nada. -> They gave me the runaround all morning at the office and didn't resolve anything."
"No te dejes embolatar, pide una respuesta clara de una vez. -> Don't let them jerk you around, demand a straight answer already."

Chuchaqui
Resaca en Ecuador. Ese malestar con dolor de cabeza, náuseas y arrepentimiento después de una noche de tragos. Es una palabra quechua que los ecuatorianos usan a diario.
