/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
To flatter someone excessively in order to get something out of them. In Chile, the person who "hace sebo" lays on the praise thick and obvious, complimenting things that don't deserve complimenting just to look good and score a favor. The buttering-up is usually visible to everyone except the target.
“Le hace sebo al profesor para que le suba la nota.”
“She lays on the flattery with the teacher hoping to get her grade bumped up.”
“Deja de hacerle sebo al jefe: no lo vas a convencer con eso.”
“Stop buttering up the boss, you are not going to win him over that way.”
