Spill
Significado: To share gossip, secrets, or juicy information — short for 'spill the tea.'
Spill is the shortened form of 'spill the tea,' meaning to share gossip or insider information. 'Spill!' as a standalone command means 'tell me everything!' It's used when someone clearly has a story or secret they're holding back. The metaphor is about spilling a drink — once the information is out, you can't take it back.
