Examples

My paycheck hits Friday, I'll pay you back then.

The whole check goes to rent and groceries, there's nothing left.

Regional synonyms

To publicly expose or embarrass someone by revealing their secrets, lies, or failures in front of others. When someone boletea you, they put you on blast and all you can do is stand there and take the shame. Common in Mexico and Colombia.
