foolproof

[diriltici]

Hello,

Can we use the term foolproof for human beings? like;
- Nobody is foolproof.

Not really. In that case, we'd fall back on the common expressions "No-one is perfect" or "No-one is infallible".

Thanks for the reply, Majorbloodnock.

Hi everybody.
for example you want to say that "somebody cannot be trusted" or "I don't trust you" or "I distrust you". can we say "you are not foolproof" ? is this usage correct ? does it make sense ?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, no: that doesn't work at all.
