Create account/Sounds like "preen" (as in "pretty") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "oh" (as in "oh")/
A naive loser who always gets the short end of the stick in Spain. The pringao is the one who works the hardest and gets the least credit, the perpetual chump.
“He's always the sucker who ends up paying for everything.”
“Don't be a chump, stand up for yourself.”

Pringarse
To get mixed up in something shady or morally compromising, ending up tainted by association. In Spain, once you are "pringado" there is no pretending you were not involved. The word literally means getting covered in grease or fat, and socially it means you are implicated whether you meant to be or not.
