Bulto refers to a shapeless mass, lump, or swelling — whether on the body (tiene un bulto en el cuello, 'she has a lump in her neck') or a piece of luggage. The expression escurrir el bulto (to dodge the lump) means to shirk responsibility. Do not confuse with bolo, which refers to a rounded ball shape.
