/Sounds like "em" (as in "empathy") + "pa" (as in "papa") + "na" (as in "nacho") + "do" (as in "doctor")/

Someone who is clueless, spacey, or completely out of the loop, like their brain is coated in breadcrumbs and nothing can get through. In Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, calling someone "empanado" means they're slow to catch on, walking around in their own world while everything happens around them.

Example

"¿No te enteraste? Estás re empanado, hermano. -> You didn't hear? You're totally out of it, bro."

"En la reunión estaba empanado, no cachó nada de lo que dijeron. -> He was completely zoned out at the meeting, didn't catch anything they said."
