Italian term or phrase: smaltire la boria
From a film treatment.

"Se loro due non si sono mai piaciuti, un motivo ci dovrà essere. Ecco, aggiunge, adesso che ha tempo libero si sta dedicando a proprio a questo, a capire perché lo detesta. E appena lo avrà scoperto, tornerà a cercarlo. Garantito. Poi gira i tacchi ed esce, lasciandolo a smaltire la sua boria."
