Bandera de Colombia

/pa-LO-mo/

A naive, innocent person who knows nothing of the world's malice and gets fooled with ease. In Colombia the palomo is completely trusting — believes everything everyone tells him without a second thought.

Example

"What a pushover that kid is, he believed every word."

"Don't be naive with strangers on the street."
