Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "NYAHW" + "pah" (as in "park")/

Meaning

Something extremely old, ancient, or hopelessly out of date. In Argentine lunfardo, "del año de ñaupa" refers to a time so long ago nobody remembers it - like saying "from the Stone Age."

Examples

That phone is from the year of ñaupa, not a single app works on it.

He told me a de ñaupa joke I have heard a thousand times.

Regional synonyms

Someone who blindly does whatever they are told without questioning it or thinking for themselves. Used dismissively to describe a person who is completely under their boss or superior thumb, a yes-man with no backbone.
