/Sounds like the English word "palt" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To feel embarrassed, to get flustered, to turn red from shame over something cringeworthy you did or witnessed. In Peru, paltear is the standard way to express that something mortifies you.
“I palteé so hard when I said the wrong name in front of her.”
“Don't paltear me by telling that story, please.”
“He palteó horribly when they caught him lying.”

Suplente
A substitute player who does not start the game but is ready to enter at any moment. Across Spain and Latin America, being a suplente means waiting for your chance on the bench, and sometimes that wait ends with the most important play of the whole match.
