Bandera de México

/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet" without "t") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "nah" (as in "nah")/

A basic, classless, or broke person in Yucatecan slang. It's the regional insult for someone with no style, no money, and no social standing — at least in the eyes of whoever's judging.

Example

"Don't be so basic, dress up a little."

"He called her pelana and she got really offended."

Regional synonyms:

Agobiado

Bandera de España

Estresado, abrumado, con demasiadas responsabilidades encima que te superan. En España 'agobiado' es la respuesta estándar cuando todo se te junta a la vez.
