being a wimp

The phrase 'ser un pelma' is a Spanish colloquial expression that refers to someone who is perceived as annoying, dull, or perhaps ineffectual, rather than directly meaning 'being a wimp.' It is often used to describe a person who is overly clingy or bothersome, making them seem tiresome to others. This term carries a connotation of being tiresome due to a lack of assertiveness or personality, which can sometimes align with being a 'wimp' in English, as both terms suggest a lack of strength or decisiveness in social situations.
