Pelotudo is a word used in Argentina to call somebody dumb or asshole but it’s also used to talk to your friend because in Argentina people insult each other but don’t really mean it unless you know, they mean it. Also I’m to lazy to go back and do this cus I’m on my phone so I’ll say it now. People as far as I know mostly use it for stupid.
Friend 1: Che pelotudo, como estas?
English: hey dumbass, how are you?
Friend 2: Estoy bien, Y vos?
English: I’m good, and you?
Insult version
Road rager 1: Che pelotudo, que mierda te pasa?!
English: hey asshole, what’s fucking wrong with you?!
Road rager 2: espera la proxima ves que estas en una luz pelotudo!
English: wait next time your at a light dumbass!
Pelotudo/a is a word frequently used in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and some other Latin American countries, it's similar to the word Boludo, it hasn't got any exact translation, but its meaning it's similar to:
Someone who is really stupid, a jerk, who has just ruined something. It can be used as a friendly nickname, between friends or parents.
It can be used as a verb too, but rarely.

"Estoy pelotudeando en internet"
"I'm wasting my time on the internet" or "I'm having fun on the internet" or "I'm doing nothing on the internet"
