Buchón

A snitch or rat who compulsively exposes others, whether the information is true or not. Unlike a gossip who just talks behind people's backs, a buchón takes the info directly to the people who will be most pissed off or hurt by it. It is usually used as a harsh insult.

Remember my cousin Ramon? I had not seen him in five years, ran into him at a bar while I was with a client, and when I got home I had a huge mess because he had already called my wife and my mother to say I was kissing a woman and that we were holding hands. The damn guy turned out to be a total buchón!

buche

A snitch or tattletale who reports others' mistakes or rule-breaking without being asked. Unlike a spy who acts for money or a cause, a buche acts out of personal interest and only when convenient. They are less compulsive than a buchón, choosing their moments to tell on others for their own benefit.

They padlocked the balcony door; some buche told them we were going out that way to smoke.
