/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "pah" (as in "park") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "kah" (as in "car")/
A decisive comeback, fact, or result that shuts someone up and leaves them with nothing to say. Used across Latin America, a good tapaboca is the ultimate proof that speaks louder than any argument.
“Ese resultado fue el tapaboca perfecto para todos los que dudaban.”
“That result was the perfect mic drop for everyone who doubted him.”
“Le dio un tapaboca con su éxito a quienes no creían en él.”
“His success was the definitive shutdown for everyone who didn't believe in him.”

Guiri
A foreign tourist in Spain, especially from northern Europe who comes looking for sun and beach. Guiris are easily spotted by their socks-with-sandals combo, sunburns, and beers at noon.
