Create account/Sounds like "TROHN" (as in "troll") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
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.
“You're terrible at soccer.”
“What a klutz, he spilled coffee on himself again.”

To be a complete nobody, a person of zero importance or usefulness in a given situation. Like a zero to the left of a number: technically present, utterly irrelevant. Shared across Spain, Mexico, and Argentina.
