FORCE: Gen Z BrainrotUNIVERSE: Spanish Internet CultureCLUSTER: spanish_slang_1102

Informal Spanish label for someone who spreads "bulos", that is, false news or rumours. It is formed from "bulo" plus the agent-style ending "-ero" and is used in online arguments about misinformation. It is a pejorative label for a behaviour, so its tone is accusatory; it is not a dictionary term.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"«Cuidado con ese perfil, es muy bulero y comparte cualquier cosa sin comprobarla», advirtió Lucía."
