/Sounds like "koo" (as in "cool") + "NYAH" (as in "Nyan") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Beyond just your partner's sibling, on the internet 'cuñado' is that guy at every gathering who has an opinion on everything despite knowing nothing. He's a self-proclaimed expert on politics, soccer, and life in general.
“There's always that one guy at family dinners who won't stop talking about politics.”
“Don't be that guy, nobody asked for your opinion.”
/Sounds like "koo" (as in "cool") + "NYAH" (as in "Nyan") + "doh" (as in "door")/
The stereotype of the middle-aged Spanish man who has strong, confident opinions on absolutely everything and shares them whether anyone asked or not. The cuñado holds forth on politics, economics, sports, and medicine at every family gathering with complete self-assurance. "Cuñadismo" is the cultural phenomenon of lecturing from confident ignorance.
“There's always a cuñado at Christmas dinner ready to explain how the country should be run.”
“Don't go full cuñado now, nobody asked for your opinion.”

Ser la pera limonera
In Spain, to be the absolute best, exceptional and a little eccentric at the same time. It takes "ser la pera" (already a strong compliment) one level further. When something is la pera limonera, it is not just great, it is singular and unforgettable.
