/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "BLEH" (as in "blend") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

The classroom blackboard or whiteboard in Colombia. The surface where teachers write and students copy, or pretend to copy while their minds are somewhere else entirely. Called "pizarra" in Spain and "pizarrón" in Mexico, but in Colombia it is always the tablero.

Mira lo que el profesor escribió en el tablero.

Look at what the teacher wrote on the board.

Pase al tablero a resolver el ejercicio, por favor.

Please come up to the board and solve the exercise.

Regional synonyms

To move on from something in the past and keep going without holding a grudge. The emotional equivalent of closing a chapter: you acknowledge what happened and then deliberately leave it behind. Common across Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.
