/Sounds like "lahm" (as in "lava") + "BOHN" (as in "boat")/
A shameless flatterer who praises bosses and superiors excessively to get favors, promotions, or special treatment. Used in Colombia and Venezuela. The lambón does not compliment you because they mean it; they do it because there is something in it for them. Common in workplaces and social circles where there is a clear hierarchy to exploit.
“That guy brings the boss coffee every single morning without being asked. Classic lambón.”
“Stop sucking up and let your work speak for itself.”
