Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "PLOH" (as in "plow") + "moh" (as in "more")/

Meaning

A total bore, someone so dull and draining they suck the energy out of any group they join. Used in Spain. The word comes from "plomo" (lead), the heavy metal, and the image is perfect: this person weighs you down, slows everything, and you simply cannot lift the mood with them around.

Examples

That coworker is such a plomo, he always steers the conversation to the same three topics.

Come on, don't be a buzzkill, liven up the conversation a little.

A naive fool in Spain, someone gullible and easily deceived who believes everything they are told without question. The panoli never seems to learn no matter how many times they have been tricked before.
