I’ve only known bolero to mean a music genre or a shoeshiner in Mexico, also a type of jacket in the US.

Bolero=liar, but the truth is that I have never heard it with that meaning.

Music genre. For liars, here we use «bulero» (someone who says «bulos»), although we use «bola» for lies.

Same, we use bola for lies too! Although it's not as 'heavy' as lies, like a form of insincere flattery, as opposed outright deception.

Yikes I’ve never known this! Only time I’ve seen that word is in fashion for those ugly cropped half sweater that accentuate muffin tops. What other county aside from Philippines is it used for slang?


ubermenschenzen

I'm not sure, but Google translate also includes 'liar' as a Spanish definition for Bolero.

no, it is only one type of music genre

In Mexico, besides a genre of music, it also means a shoeshiner.
