Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "DOHS" (as in "door") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "dohs" (as in "door") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "FREHN" (as in "fresh") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

To have absolutely no common sense, to consistently make obviously wrong decisions as if basic logic simply does not register. Used across Spain, Mexico, and Argentina to describe someone whose judgment is so poor it genuinely baffles everyone around them.

Examples

That guy has zero common sense, just look at what he did.

How can someone seriously lack even the most basic judgment?

Regional synonyms

To keep your feet on the ground: to be realistic, practical, and not carried away by expectations that have no basis in reality. A grounded person thinks before acting and does not let success or ambition cloud their judgment.
