Regional synonyms

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.
