: stool pigeon significa "informante", una palabra mucho más formal que "buchón"

Totalmente cierto; de hecho, me gustan mucho más las sugerencias de marceloabq. No obstante, yo hubiera colocado un "neutral"; no estoy seguro de que una diferencia de registro alcance para un "disagree", aunque puedo estar equivocado, desde ya. Saludos!

If at all possible, you might consider using a verb, such as \"to rat (out)\" and \"to dime (out)\" (as in \"he dimed them out [to the cops]\"). :-)

Gabriela, al buscar palabras posibles, se me olvidó que usted había sugerido \"squealer\". Obviamente, me gusta, pero más aún como verbo:
\"That rat, he squealed ([like the pig his] all the way to the cops; now I\'m the one doin\' time, and that snitch is out on the street)\":-)
