/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "NYOH" (as in "onion") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A tricky, scheming person who uses deception and hidden moves to get an advantage. In Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru, a mañoso never plays it straight: there is always something extra on the bill you did not order, or a clause in the deal you did not notice. The opposite of someone you can trust at face value.
“That vendor is sneaky, he always slips something extra onto the bill that you never ordered.”
“Don't buy from him, he plays games with the prices.”
/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "NYOH" (as in "onion") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A person with bad habits, dishonest, or annoyingly picky and demanding. In Ecuador and Colombia, a 'mañoso' is either the vendor who sneaks extra charges into your bill, or the child who refuses every food on the plate. Both are equally exhausting.
“That vendor is shady, he always adds something extra to the bill.”
“Don't be difficult and eat what's there.”
