/Sounds like "TRWEH" + "nah" (as in "nacho") + "POHR" (as in "port") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "boh" (as in "boat") + "SEE" (as in "see") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
Someone who talks a big game but never delivers. All noise, zero action. The classic person who has an opinion on everything but vanishes when it is time to actually do something. Very common in Mexican slang.
“Nomás truena por la bocina, a la hora buena no aparece. (He's all talk; when it actually matters, he's nowhere to be found.)”
“No le hagas caso, solo truena por la bocina. (Don't listen to him, he's just full of hot air.)”
