/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "ROO" (as in "rude") + "goh" (as in "go")/

Meaning

A slow or dim-witted person who just cannot grasp things no matter how many times you explain them. In Mexico, calling someone a tarugo is more exasperated affection than a real insult. The related noun tarugada describes a dumb move or blunder.

Examples

Stop being a tarugo and read the instructions before you put that together.

What a tarugo, he made the same mistake again.

Word family

An extremely party-loving person who never misses a single party or pachanga. Always looking for where the party's at, first to arrive and last to leave.
