tio introvertido españa / tipo introvertido latinoamerica Explanation: It seems more accurate to me. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hora (2006-08-03 23:13:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Elijo introvertido por que se aproxima más al contexto considerando que es un "goody-goody mama's boy". |

mequetrefe Explanation: Not with a lot of confidence of course, and just from the context you've given. Otherwise for me it would be "un tipo de subido color" and I was definitely around in the 50's & 60's... Plus the "dude" thing never started until way after that, so I'm not so sure. But I've given you a neat term in Spanish if it applies, I know well what it means but my doubt is with "dark dude", I'm not at all sure about that one. |
