/Sounds like "TEE" (as in "tea") + "byoh"/
Literally "lukewarm," used for someone who is wishy-washy, noncommittal, or half-hearted. If someone is being tibio with you, they are not fully in but not fully out either, giving you just enough attention to keep you hanging. Very common in dating contexts across Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina.
“I don't like that guy, he is so lukewarm with me, he doesn't pursue me but won't let me go either.”
“Are you going or not? Stop being wishy-washy and make up your mind already.”

Apantallar
To impress or dazzle someone, whether with money, skills, looks, or knowledge. In Mexico, apantallar often has a slightly ironic edge: the person showing off is trying a little too hard to get that admiring reaction. Think flashy cars, name-dropping, or pulling out a fancy move at exactly the right moment.
