Spanish term

pende viejo

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other
Es un grupo de discusión sobre energy drinks. Un pende viejo (un viejo que se hace el pendex/pendejo) es una persona mayor que se hace el joven, se viste como si fuera más joven, se hace el canchero y queda desubicado para su edad.

Mi texto dice así:
¿Y cómo es el que toma Dark Dog?
-Fuera de edad.
-Rudo.
-Desubicado.
-Saliendo con niñas de 20 años.
-Canchero.
-La edad que tiene no corresponde con él.
-**Pende viejo.**
-Eterno adolescente.
-Se ve mal.
