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

/Sounds like "pehn" (as in "pet") + "deh" (as in "debt") + "HEHZ" (as in "help")/

Meaning

Stupidity, a foolish act or statement so dumb and unnecessary it shows a complete lack of judgment and common sense. Derived from "pendejo" (idiot), saying something is a "pendejez" is calling it pure, distilled stupidity. Used in Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia as a blunt way to label someone's actions as utterly brainless.

Examples

That stupid thing you said makes absolutely no sense.

Don't do anything stupid in the interview, behave yourself.
