Condorito
In Central America, someone naive or gullible who accepts any story without questioning it. The name comes from the beloved Chilean comic strip character created in 1949, whose innocent and trusting nature made him easy to fool. Calling someone a condorito in Guatemala, Honduras, or El Salvador means they need to wise up.
