/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "HOO" (as in "who") + "doh" (as in "door")/
A stupid or naive person who acts without thinking. One of the most commonly used insults in Peru, though among close friends it can shift into something almost affectionate. The strength of the word depends entirely on tone and relationship: between best friends it is playful teasing; from a stranger it is a genuine insult.
“Seriously, cojudo! Why would you do that?”
“That cojudo forgot to bring the keys again, now we are locked out.”
/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "HOO" (as in "who") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Peru, someone who is gullible or easily fooled because they're too trusting or clueless. "Hacerse el cojudo" means playing dumb on purpose to get out of something.
“Don't be a sucker, that promotion is a trap.”
“He played dumb so he didn't have to return what he borrowed.”
