Ñame
A dim-witted or naive person who does not pick up on things easily and can be fooled without much effort. Used in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Can be affectionate among close friends or a genuine mild insult depending on tone. The word comes from the ñame root vegetable, humble, dense, and starchy.
