"Spanish" and "I've" should be capitalized. - rac1, Oct 16, 2015

I agree with annierats that context would help a lot. (It always does!) But I suspect that this is a derogatory comment about a verb that's part of a tacky or prissy way of speaking.

Now we have context I can see that you're right! Well done. - annierats, Oct 17, 2015

Sorry i should have added more content.Here it is in a deeper context. Esto es más difícil de imaginar, pero hagan un esfuerzo, que hoy es el día de España polisémica y asimétrica: más imaginación ya no se puede tener en esta vida, pero esto es lo que hay. Y ahora, para terminar con el ejercicio imaginativo, hagan el favor de visualizar-verbo en boga de la cursilería léxica-una banda de cornetas y tambores que irrumpe en la calle de al lado y se pone a tocar marchas cofradieras a tutiplén.

Thanks, jtaniel seems to be spot on. - annierats, Oct 17, 2015
I will never be able to translate this text into English. suerte. I think that cofradieras is wrong , i would say "cofrades" - 000a35ff, Oct 17, 2015

Could you please put up more context? ' estar en boga', can mean to be in fashion, for example, therefore, it could mean that the verb is written in some fashionable typing style.

This is guesswork but without context I can't do any better.
