/Sounds like 'mah-NYEH'/
A person with no class, no taste, and no refinement — common and tacky in the worst way. In Ecuador and Colombia, mañé describes someone whose manners, style, and general vibe signal low-brow in every dimension. It stings because it's about who you fundamentally are, not just what you're wearing.
"Ese tipo es un mañé, se comportó horrible en la cena. → "That guy is so low-class — he behaved terribly at the dinner."
"No seas mañé, al menos di gracias. → "Don't be so uncouth — at least say thank you."
