/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "bohl" (as in "boat") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Someone who got talked into or manipulated into something they did not actually want to do, and is now stuck with no easy way out. Used in Colombia. The embolsado did not think it through, trusted the wrong person, and now has to deal with the consequences of a commitment they never really signed up for.
“They roped me into that project and now I cannot get out.”
“How did you let yourself get talked into that so easily by that guy?”

Faramalla
A fake person who shows off things they don't have or exaggerates everything to impress others. In Mexican slang, faramalla also describes the whole act or spectacle someone puts on to get attention. If someone is pura faramalla, everything about them is smoke and mirrors.
