Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "EER" (as in "eagle") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "fah" (as in "far") + "ROHL" (as in "row")/

Meaning

In Spain, to bluff or pretend to have more than you actually do, especially money, knowledge, or status. The person who goes de farol is all show and no substance.

Examples

He acts like he has a business when he's still living with his parents.

Don't front if you can't actually back it up.
