意味
To be widely discussed or known by many people.
文化的背景
In Spain, the 'prensa rosa' (pink press/tabloids) is a massive industry. Phrases like 'en boca de todos' are frequently used in TV shows like 'Sálvame' to discuss the lives of celebrities. Mexican culture places a high value on family reputation. Being 'en boca de todos' for a negative reason can be seen as a 'deshonra' (dishonor) to the family name. In Buenos Aires, 'el qué dirán' is still very present in traditional neighborhoods. People are very aware of their social standing and how they are perceived by their 'vecinos' (neighbors). The phrase is often used in the context of 'chismes de pasillo' (hallway gossip) in office settings, which is a common social lubricant in Colombian work culture.
Use 'Andar' for extra flavor
Instead of 'estar', use 'andar' (e.g., 'Anda en boca de todos') to sound more like a native speaker when talking about rumors that are spreading quickly.
Singular 'Boca'
Never say 'en bocas de todos'. Even if millions of people are talking, the idiom stays singular.
