/man-DIL/
A man completely dominated by his wife or partner — someone who does everything she says without question. In Mexico, 'mandil' is the househusband pushed to an extreme: not just doing chores, but having surrendered all independence. Said with either pity or mild contempt.
"He's totally under his wife's thumb — he can't even watch the game without permission."
"Don't be a mandil and make your own decisions for once."
