Exposed from the Balcony

Balconear, from balcón, balcony, is Mexican slang for exposing someone in public. Cultura Colectiva defines it as making a person’s private life public, or mocking something that should not be known. Its example is “Balconeó a su jefe y lo corrieron” (He exposed his boss, and he was fired). In December 2020, Uno TV used the word for teachers who had been balconeados during online classes.
