/Sounds like "mahn" (as in "mark") + "GAHN" (as in "garden") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A freeloader who always takes and never gives, someone who lives off others, always asking for things, borrowing without returning, and milking generosity dry. In Spain, a mangante is morally broke even if not financially so.
“No invites a ese mangante, se come todo y no pone nada.”
“Don't invite that freeloader, he eats everything and contributes nothing.”
“That sponger has owed me money since last year.”

Qué lo qué
A casual Dominican greeting meaning 'What's up?' or 'How are you?', probably the first phrase you learn upon arriving in Santo Domingo. It's as Dominican as merengue and the flag.
