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

/Sounds like "pahr" (as in "park") + "DEE" (as in "deep") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/

Meaning

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.

Examples

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.

Regional synonyms

To have a cold or flu, NOT to be constipated. Saying 'estoy constipado' in Spanish means you have a stuffy nose and a sore throat, not digestive problems. It's one of the most entertaining false cognates in the language and a guaranteed source of confusion for English speakers learning Spanish.
