/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "lahn" (as in "lava") + "dreh" (as in "dress") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To hustle on the streets doing shady or illegal things, living outside the law. In Venezuela and Colombia, "malandrear" is tied to barrio survival culture, where getting by sometimes means operating in the gray zones of society and doing whatever it takes.
“That guy just roams the streets getting into trouble and refuses to hold down a job.”
“He left that street life behind the moment his son was born.”

Mango
An extremely attractive person, the kind who makes heads turn. In Argentina and Uruguay, saying someone "está como un mango" means they are irresistibly good-looking, like the fruit at its ripest. Works for any gender and can be a direct compliment or a casual street remark.
