Just off the boat 容易上当的
    2018-08-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Nowadays swindlers are everywhere!

B: What happened?

A: A friend called me yesterday insisting on meeting me in person. He tried to pull me into a pyramid scheme!

B: Did you turn him down?

A: Of course I did. I’m not just off the boat. I know what’s going on.

Note: This American slang refers to someone naive and gullible. As early immigrant often arrived at the United States in a sea vessel, “just off the boat” is used to describe new immigrants believed to be gullible and naive.
