/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "leh" (as in "let")/
Something incredibly boring, tedious, or with zero entertainment value whatsoever. In Argentina, an embole is anything that makes time feel like it's stopped, meetings, lectures, or waiting in line.
“That movie was such a bore, I fell asleep halfway through.”
“Mondays are a total drag, nothing good ever happens.”

Apantallar
To impress or dazzle someone, whether with money, skills, looks, or knowledge. In Mexico, apantallar often has a slightly ironic edge: the person showing off is trying a little too hard to get that admiring reaction. Think flashy cars, name-dropping, or pulling out a fancy move at exactly the right moment.
