FUNAR— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

Funar To publicly call out and expose someone on social media for bad behavior — posting screenshots, video, or an account of what they did so an online audience can see and judge it — the digital-native evolution of a Spanish verb that originally meant public physical denunciation.

Origin:Originated specifically in Chilean Spanish, where funar historically described a public, physical act of denouncing or scandalizing someone in person; the term's meaning migrated onto social media as Chilean internet culture repurposed it for the equivalent act of publicly exposing someone online, before spreading more broadly into other Spanish-language internet communities. Usage remains disproportionately concentrated in Chile relative to the rest of the Spanish-speaking internet.
