What Does This Mean?
Informal Spanish word for a big hoax or a glaring false story, built from "bulo" (a false news item spread on purpose) plus the suffix "-azo", which can add the idea of something large or sudden. Unlike plain "bulo", it stresses the size or impact of the falsehood. Use as a standalone noun is not recorded in the dictionaries opened.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"«Lo del cierre del instituto fue un bulazo que se compartió en todos los grupos», comentó Marta."
LORE & ORIGIN
Spanish Wikipedia defines "bulo" as a falsehood deliberately built to be taken as true, usually spread on social networks and messaging chains, and notes that its exact origin is unknown (the RAE links it possibly to Caló "bul"). Spanish Wiktionary lists "-azo" as a suffix with augmentative, blow, sudden-action and derogatory senses. "Bulazo" itself is not yet documented in the dictionaries opened; no dated first use found yet.
