/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "rroh"/
Someone who is slow to understand, thick-headed, or who acts without thinking. Used across Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela. When you say it about yourself it is self-deprecating and fairly light. When you say it about someone else the sharpness depends on tone and context. Comes from the donkey, an animal associated with stubbornness and slowness.
“I am hopeless at math, I genuinely need everything explained to me at least twice.”
“Do not be dense and actually study before the final exam this time.”
/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "rroh"/
A dumb person or someone who doesn't understand things no matter how many times you explain. Calling someone burro is a classic since elementary school that never goes out of style, it stings, but we've all heard it.
“Don't be a burro, the answer is obvious.”
“I felt like such a burro when everyone understood except me.”

El malo de la película
The person everyone blames when something goes wrong, the narrative scapegoat of any group conflict. Across Latin America and Spain, ser el malo de la pelicula means being cast as the villain of the story, sometimes just for telling the truth nobody wanted to hear.
