seems like they just fell off the turnip truck/are still wet behind the ears when it comes to ___ Explanation: I'm basing this answer on the discussion above, as I wasn't familiar with the expression. Hence my low confidence level. 'Wet behind the ears' might be more charitable. 'Fell off the turnip truck' is much closer to the Spanish but not quite as gentle. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2019-01-12 00:45:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- fall off the turnip truck - Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fall_off_the_turnip_truck (chiefly US, idiomatic) To be naive, uninformed, or unsophisticated, in the manner of a rustic person. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2019-01-12 00:47:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Collins online dictionary wet behind the ears phrase If you say that someone is still wet behind the ears, you mean that they have only recently arrived in a new place or job, and are therefore still not experienced. |
