sacar la vuelta
Short answer
In Lima, "sacar la vuelta" means to cheat on a partner; also to dodge work. The register is coloquial — fine among friends, out of place in a job interview or anything written to an institution. The standard Spanish equivalent is "ser infiel; escurrir el bulto". In use: Le sacó la vuelta al jefe toda la tarde.
