/Sounds like "LOHR" (as in "loan") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
A dumb, naive person who gets fooled easily without realizing it in Peru. Being lorna means everyone takes you for a fool and you don't even notice because your naivety exceeds all reasonable expectations.
“Don't be lorna, they're totally playing you.”
“He was such a lorna lending money to that scammer.”
/Sounds like "LOHR" (as in "loan") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
A boring, unfun person in Peru who nobody wants to hang out with because they bring nothing to the table. A "lorna" kills the vibe at any gathering.
“Don't invite that buzzkill, he ruins the atmosphere.”
“You've become such a bore, you never want to go out anymore.”

Parar la pelota
To pause and think before acting impulsively. From soccer, where stopping the ball gives you a second to assess before making your next move. Used in Argentina and Uruguay to advise someone to slow down, breathe, and evaluate their options before doing something they might regret.
