“He showed up making visaje with his new car so everyone would see.”

/Sounds like "bee" (as in "bee") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "heh" (as in "help")/
Meaning
Unnecessary drama, exaggeration, or attention-seeking over something trivial. In Colombia, when someone makes a visaje they are putting on a full telenovela performance that nobody asked for over something absolutely minor.
Examples
“Don't make such a big deal over something so small.”
“That actress is all drama, she exaggerates absolutely everything.”
