In the UK there is slang "to grass on someone", which means to reveal information that the someone doesn't want revealed, often to a person in authority. During my school days, another kid would often be branded as a traitor if they known to "grass" on others.

(KGT 147):  Probably because of the parallel formation of {bolwI'} and {maghwI'} ... the verb {bol} (drool) is sometimes used to mean betray, as if it were equivalent to {magh}. In this usage, {bol}, like {magh}, may take an object; that is, the sentence may indicate who is betrayed:  {mumaghpu'} ("He/she has betrayed me") or {mubolpu'} ("He/she has betrayed me"; literally, "He/she has drooled me").

N.B. Do not confuse with the verb {magh} "indicate, reveal" or the new noun {magh} "Klingon plant resembling grass".
