Add a word/Sounds like "pehl" (as in "pet") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
Meaning
A boring, insufferable person who drains energy from any conversation or gathering. In Spain, a "pelmazo" talks too much, too long, about things nobody asked about, and completely misses the social cue that everyone wants them to stop. The Spanish equivalent of a buzzkill who just won't quit.
Examples
“What a bore that coworker is, there's no way to get a word in.”
“Don't invite that bore to the dinner, he ruins the whole vibe.”
