Regional synonyms

A fool, a naive or clueless person who never catches on to what's happening around them. In Colombia, it describes someone who's too innocent for their own good, always the last to realize they're being tricked or taken advantage of. It's dismissive but not the harshest insult, more like calling someone gullible or dense.
