/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "fahn" (as in "far") + "TAHS" (as in "tar") + "mah" (as in "mark")/
Someone who vanishes from your life without warning or explanation, leaves messages on read, and never follows through on plans. The Spanish-language version of "ghosting," used widely in Spain.
“He promised to call and hasn't shown up in weeks, he's a total ghost.”
“He ghosted me right when I needed him most.”
/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "fahn" (as in "far") + "TAHS" (as in "tar") + "mah" (as in "mark")/
In Spain, someone who brags about exaggerated or entirely made-up achievements. A fantasma is all talk and zero substance: every story they tell is bigger than the last and none of it can be verified. When someone calls you un fantasma, your credibility is gone.
“Don't believe a word he says, he's a first-class bullshitter.”
“You can't do business with that fantasma, it's all smoke.”

Matraquero
A corrupt official who demands bribes to do their job. In Venezuela, a matraquero will not process your paperwork, let you through a checkpoint, or do anything at all unless money changes hands. The name comes from "matraca," a noisy rattle: they keep making noise until you pay.
