/Sounds like 'floh-reh-AR'/

To flatter someone with compliments — showering them with praise to get on their good side or win something. In Colombia and the Southern Cone, florear is calculated charm; you throw the flowers hoping to reap the benefits.

Example

"Te está floreando para que le hagas el favor."

"Sabe florear muy bien, por eso siempre consigue lo que quiere. → He's flattering you so you'll do him a favor."

"He knows how to lay on the charm, that's why he always gets what he wants."
