lorna
Short answer
In Lima, "lorna" means gullible, easily taken in. The register is muy coloquial — fine among friends, out of place in a job interview or anything written to an institution. The standard Spanish equivalent is "ingenuo". In use: No seas lorna, te van a cobrar el doble.

Mildly insulting. Fine between friends as a warning, not something to call a stranger.
