What Does This Mean?
Colloquial Spanish verb used mainly in Argentina meaning to show off or boast ("presumir, alardear"). The same word also has the senses of scaring someone and, rarely, acting like a ghost. It is not the same as "ghostear" (ghosting someone), so the meaning depends on the context.
