/Sounds like "TOHN" (as in "toll") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A person who acts without thinking, someone who says or does stupid things without realizing it in Spain. It's a mild everyday insult used both as a joke among friends and seriously when someone really screws up.
“Don't be tonto, that was obvious.”
“How tonto was I, I should've realized sooner.”

Pelota
A sycophant who flatters those in power to get ahead, the classic yes-man who celebrates even his boss's mistakes. In Colombia and Venezuela, pelota is synonymous with "lambón" or "lame botas": someone who never has their own opinion, only whatever the boss thinks.
