Could someone please tell me what the French term for "pringao/pringado" is? The word comes up several times in a film script about a group of teenagers in modern-day Spain. As an insult, they call each other "pringaos", but I've no idea what the current slang equivalent would be in France.
Thanks in advance!

Il s'agit d'un film, donc le contexte est très important.
Cela dépend de qui le dit à qui, et en quelles circonstances.

Bonne chance !

Nigaud, aussi.
Au fait, le DRAE confirme: "Persona que se deja engañar fácilmente."

Discussion
Al final, despu�s de consultar con un amigo que vive en Par�s y tiene un sobrino de 19 a�os ;-), ella ha optado por el t�rmino "loser". Se ve que los chavales j�venes emplean la palabra inglesa, tal cual.
Juan Jacob, por desgracia no hab�a m�s contexto. El registro es muy "barriobajero" y son conversaciones un tanto absurdas. Por cierto, hay un foro de traductores audiovisuales (TAV) aqu� en Espa�a. Se llama Trag - http://xcastro.com/trag/ y puede que te interese darte de alta. �M�s de una vez me han sacado de un apuro!
Gracias de nuevo.
