Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "postur" + "EH" (as in "egg") + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

Faking a lifestyle or personality to impress others on social media or in person in Chile. "Postureo" is pure facade: projecting a false image for likes or social status.

Examples

That account is pure posing, in real life they're nothing like that.

Drop the act and just be yourself.

Regional synonyms

To freeze up or blank out suddenly, like your brain just crashed. Borrowed from tech slang ("bug"), it describes the moment a person goes blank mid-conversation or doesn't know how to react. Widely used across Spanish-speaking countries among younger speakers.
