/Sounds like "WEH" (as in "west") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

A shallow, hollow person with no real depth or intellectual substance. In Mexico and Central America, calling someone "hueco" means they may look interesting on the surface but there is nothing real inside, no genuine ideas, no authentic connections. Used for people and also for relationships or conversations that are all appearance and no content.

Examples

That influencer is really shallow, he talks for hours without saying anything meaningful.

The relationship turned out to be hollow, all surface and no real substance.
