/Sounds like "NEH" (as in "net") + "poh" (as in "port") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "BEE" (as in "bee")/
Same meaning as in English: the child of a famous or powerful person who got their career through their parents' connections rather than their own merit. Spanish speakers adopted the term as-is and use it widely on social media to call out celebrities who were born on third base.
“That actress is a total nepo baby, her mom is a producer and handed her everything.”
“Half of Hollywood are nepo babies at this point, nobody is even surprised anymore.”

No dar un palo al agua
A Spanish expression for someone who absolutely refuses to work, not even lifting a finger. The imagery comes from rowing: not giving a single stroke means not moving at all. Always used in the negative, always with a tone of reproach.
