Ser un moñas
To be overly soft or wimpy
Tío, no seas un moñas y díselo al camarero.
Your friend refuses to complain about a wrong order at a bar, and you tease them for being too shy.
Literally, "moñas" refers to something like a silly tuft/soft vibe, though it doesn't translate word-for-word cleanly into English.
In practice, "ser un moñas" means being too soft, overly sensitive, timid, or a bit of a wimp (often in a teasing way). In Spain it's common among friends to mock someone who gets embarrassed easily or can't handle mild confrontation. Depending on tone, it can be affectionate teasing or genuinely dismissive.
"Ser un moñas" does not mean to be overly tough or fearless, to be overly lost or clueless, to be overly hard on yourself, you can do it. It specifically means "To be overly soft or wimpy".
