Votar = To Vote Must be slang: I am voting you for the bed???

misspell It isn't a slang, just that this person didn't use the correct verb, for there isn't a phonetical difference between B and V in Colombian spanish and it's common for people to make this kind of mistake whe writing.

VOTAR= To Vote (as in an election)
BOTAR= To throw. To toss. / In the context of your sentence: To Throw Out.

"yo votandote de la cama" = " (...) me throwing you out of bed"

Thanks Camus! Botar was the verb that should have been used in the context of our conversation. And I'm not being tossed out of our bed! Smile...

However, what do you mean by "there isn't a phonetical difference between B and V in Colombian Spanish"?
