/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "pah" (as in "park") + "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Someone who is completely out of the loop, spacey, or slow to pick up on what is happening around them. Used in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. "Empanado" literally means "breaded" (coated in breadcrumbs), and the image works perfectly: this person's brain is wrapped in a thick layer of something that blocks all incoming information. They drift through life half a step behind.
“You didn't hear about the match? You are totally out of it, man.”
“He was completely zoned out at the meeting and missed everything that was said.”
