Thread: Vueltero

Hi People,

How Can I say "Vueltero" ? This is a word we often use in my country to describe someone who is kind of difficult to deal with; can't take a decision quickly and go over it for a while, always finds obstacles when something is proposed, etc.
Hope you can get the idea of "vueltero"

Thanks

Hi Vicente!
Well, wet blanket is the phrase that would apply the best. Yet it's not exactly what I mean. The word VUELTERO is not aggressive and as you said "a friendlier way" to refer to someone who is like this. I think there must be a slang for that. By now, a "difficult person" is the most accurate word. I'll go on searching and If something comes up, I'll tell you.
Thanks Vicente!!!

Hi Vicente,
Thanks for your effort to help me but I'm sorry to say that the adjectives you gave me do not refer to vueltero. However I have learnt a couple of them, like SOURPUSS AND WORRYWART

Bet on it Vicente!

Vicente, beyond the Slang that might exist, the meaning is indecesive, that's the word

look! here is an example of a vueltero

- Let's go dancing
el vueltero: - mm, I'm not sure, it's too lale, and i have to get up early tomorrow.
- ok, next time so.
Vueltero: yeah, but I was thinkng that if we come early and sb. can give me a ride home when we go out of the disco....
- Ok, call Juan who has a car.
vueltero: I'm not sure , he drives too fast, and I hate that.
- well , take a taxi
vueltero: yeah , the point is that taxis are very expensive and I don't feel safe taking a taxi
- you can share it with someone else
vueltero : I don't know! I'll see

Surely this guy will never go dancing.

Get it, Vicente??
