Tu si eres bultero

An expression used to call someone a phoney, a liar, or someone who is all talk. It comes from the phrase (hacer bulto), meaning to take up space, which originally referred to 1970s and 80s government officials who would stand behind a leader during press conferences just to be seen and show fake loyalty. (In the Dominican Republic, this tactic was used by officials of the Reformista party to catch the eye of their superiors and climb the political ladder).
