Usage notes
- Although in some contexts zonzo, bobo, tonto, menso, culero, tarado, idiota, imbécil, estúpido and pendejo may be synonyms, in most contexts these adjectives each have a different degree of severity, with zonzo having the mildest connotation, increasing in intensity in this rough order, to estúpido and pendejo, which have the most offensive sense.
