Bandera de España

/par-DI-yo/

A naive, gullible person who falls for tricks easily because they don't know the rules of the game. In Spain, the 'pardillo' is the one who clicks on phishing emails, pays full price without negotiating, or believes obvious lies — not stupid, just dangerously trusting.

Example

"What a sucker — he believed he'd won the lottery from an email."

"Don't be naive and verify before giving your data to anyone."
