/Sounds like "mahn" (as in "mark") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "DYAH" + "bloh" (as in "blow")/
To tell someone to get lost or get out of your life, to dismiss them firmly without much ceremony. It is the polite-ish version of telling someone where to go, but the message lands just as clearly. Used across Spain and most of Latin America.
“Le mandó al diablo cuando le volvió a pedir explicaciones.”
“She told him to get lost when he came asking for explanations again.”
“Mandé al diablo ese trabajo que me tenía con el estrés a mil.”
“I quit that job that was stressing me out completely.”

Afanarse
In Spain, to swipe or steal something quickly and opportunistically when nobody is looking. No confrontation, no violence, just taking advantage of an unguarded moment.
