I need help understanding this phrase

Question

Here is a conversation:

Albert: “Why have you been giving me the cold shoulder all week?”

 

Edison: “You noticed already? Wow, you’re a real Einstein tonight.”

 

Albert: “Alright I’m done cozying up to your thorns, what’s going on?”

 

Edison: “Being the real breadwinner, I thought you’d have a bit more sympathy for me and not ruffle my feathers any more than you have.”

 

Albert: “If you’re going to keep beating around the bush, I don’t know if we have anything more to talk about.”

 

Edison: “I’m surprised you even want to talk to me- instead of your little Monica Lewinsky down on 42nd street.”

 

Albert: “Are you talking about Gina? She’s the virgin Mary as far as I’m concerned. She’d never hurt a fly, let alone someone I love.”

 

Edison: “Why don’t you just swallow your pride and be honest.”

 

Albert: “I might as well be on the penny!”

 

Edison: “Sabrina swears she saw you two dancing around in your birthday suits.”

 

Albert: “I wouldn’t put it past her to lie about something like that, although she’s known for being a squealer.”

WHAT DOES "BEING A SQUEALER" MEAN IN THIS CONTEXT?

Answer 1

I agree with the answer posted above. It is a term used for people who cannot keep a secret and expose the truth, which often has negative consequences for the people involved.

Answer 2

In this context, "being a squealer" refers to someone to sees someone do something either their friends or society doesn't condone and goes and tells on them to either an authority figure or another friend. In America, this is also called being a "tattle-tail".
