1 definition by Joe Casserly
The person you imagine someone to be. (noun or Title, i.e., "Mr.") We all make assumptions about people we know and may even assume that they are angry with us; but when we confront them about it, they have no idea what we're talking about. We've been having a conversation with their "duende." (From the Spanish word for "elf.")
Duende Todd told me that he didn't like SciFi films, so I never asked Todd to go to see one. Weeks ago, he wasn't feeling well when we watched one, so I interpretted that as him not liking SciFi at all. I apparently was only speaking with his duende. He really enjoys SciFi.
