Someone who is easily fooled, gullible. Ya no ser谩 tu pendeja. I won't let you trick me anymore. Y yo, tod铆a de pendejo. And me, still not catching on. Pero la culpa la tengo yo por pendeja. But it's my fault for being so naive, innocent. 驴Est谩s pendejo o qu茅? Your suggestion is really stupid. PendejadaA pendejada is the kind of thing an idiot would say or do. As such, it is a stronger version of tonter铆a.
