/fu-LA-no/
A generic placeholder name for any unnamed person — the Spanish equivalent of 'so-and-so' or 'whatshisname.' Used alongside Mengano and Zutano to refer to hypothetical or unnamed people in examples, stories, or arguments. A pillar of Spanish rhetorical tradition.
"So-and-so called saying the order was ready."
"If Fulano does this, then Mengano will react like that."
