Bandera de Argentina
Bandera de Uruguay

/Sounds like "mahn" (as in "man") + "DAHR" + "FROO" + "tah" (as in "taco")/

To make stuff up, say random things without any basis, or improvise wildly without thinking in Argentina. When someone 'manda fruta,' they're talking out of their ass with full confidence.

Example

"He's totally making stuff up, he has no idea what he's talking about."

"Don't just wing it, study before the exam."
