Bandera de Argentina
Bandera de Uruguay

/Sounds like "po" (as in "poker") + "yeh" + "roo" + "do" (as in "doctor")/

A man who is completely whipped by his girlfriend or wife, doing whatever she says without question. The word comes from "pollera," which means skirt in Argentina, implying the guy is always clinging to his woman's skirt. It's the equivalent of calling someone "whipped" or "henpecked" in English.

Example

"No puede salir porque la novia no lo deja, es un pollerudo. -> He can't go out because his girlfriend won't let him, he's such a pollerudo."

"Dejá de ser tan pollerudo y vení a la cancha. -> Stop being so pollerudo and come to the game."
