Ñoño
/Sounds like "NYOH" (as in "onion") + "nyoh" (as in "onion")/
A shy, bookish, or socially awkward person who comes across as naive and unworldly. Think the kid who always had their nose in a textbook and never really hung out after school. In Chile and Argentina the word can sting a little or feel almost affectionate depending on who says it and how.
“He was the biggest nerd in class, but ended up the most successful one.”
“Me, a nerd? No way, I go out every weekend.”
