TILINGO: ATOLONDRADO. PEDANT. BOBO.

  




furoya

1º_ The adjective 'tilingo' is used in lunfardo, but has spread beyond the Río de la Plata. It is a way of qualifying the subject "vulgar but presumptuous, with pretensions of superior social class, hollow and affected", in some regions he became "silly, crazy". It probably derives from the voice "tilín" ("minimal, bland, but striking like the tinkling of the bells"). See wannabe . 2º_ It is one of the common names for the bird Crotophaga sulcirostris, surely a deformation of "talingo", influenced by the previous one.
