/Sounds like 'pah-LEH-toh'/
A country bumpkin — someone rural, uncultured, or completely out of touch with urban life and trends. In Spain, paleto is the city person's word for anyone who seems hopelessly behind the times, awkward in social settings, or just plain provincial. Not the deepest insult, but definitely a snub.
"Se notaba que era paleto por cómo miraba todo en el metro. → "You could tell he was a total country boy by the way he stared at everything on the subway."
"No seas paleto, eso ya no se usa. → "Don't be so behind the times — nobody does that anymore."

Estar de cona
Estar bromeando, no ir en serio, estar de cachondeo. En España preguntar '¿Estás de coña?' es como decir '¿Me estás tomando el pelo?' o '¿Es en serio?'.
