Nota cultural
This word implies gullibility more than stupidity — someone who gets tricked easily or doesn't know how things work. Among friends, it's teasing someone for being naive or overpaying for something. It's light-hearted and often comes with helpful advice. Fun fact: the Muppet character Gonzo got his name from this Italian word.
