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

/Sounds like "TROHN" (as in "troll") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

A clumsy, useless, or incompetent person in Spain. Calling someone "tronco" means they're bad at what they're doing, like that friend who can't kick a ball straight or the coworker who messes everything up. Literally means "log" or "trunk," because a log just sits there being useless.

Examples

You're terrible at soccer.

What a klutz, he spilled coffee on himself again.
