/Sounds like "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A large, cozy blanket for covering yourself on the couch or in bed. The perfect companion for cold afternoons: you throw it on while watching a show and you are not getting up until someone forces you to.
“Bring the blanket. We are watching a movie and it is getting chilly.”
“The couch blanket is so soft I always fall asleep in it.”
/Sounds like "MAHN" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A clumsy, lazy person who can't do anything right and everything they try goes wrong. In Spain, calling someone a 'manta' is the soft insult for someone useless or lazy who can't get it together.
“You're such a manta at football, you can't even hit the ball.”
“Don't be a manta and help me move this.”

Tomarse el palo
To take a comment or joke personally when it was not aimed at you. In Mexico, someone who "se toma el palo" gets defensive over something that had nothing to do with them, which usually just confirms everyone else's suspicion that it actually did.
