/Sounds like "tohn" (as in "toll") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
A playful, affectionate insult in Spain for calling someone a fool without real malice, a contraction of "tonto del haba." Tossed between friends almost warmly.
“What a tontolaba you are, it was just a joke.”
“Stop being a tontolaba and help me out.”

Meter la cuchara
To butt in, stick your nose in other people's business without being invited. In Mexico and Central America meter la cuchara is what happens when someone can't resist inserting themselves into a situation that has nothing to do with them.
