Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "BEE" (as in "bee") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A naive, guileless person in Venezuela who gets fooled without ever seeing it coming. A pabito has no bad intentions, which is exactly why they always end up being the one the story is about, and not in a flattering way.

Examples

He believed every word without questioning a single thing.

Do not be naive, read everything carefully before you sign.

Regional synonyms

To wander around sad, lonely, and aimless, drifting without purpose or energy. In Spain and Latin America, this phrase paints the image of grief made into a walking figure: visibly hollow, going nowhere in particular.
