Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "RRAH" + "noh" (as in "note")/

Meaning

A dirty, unhygienic, or indecent person in Colombia and Venezuela. Marrano literally means pig in Spanish, and calling someone this is a direct comparison, whether they smell bad, eat without manners, or just act without any consideration for others.

Examples

What a pig! He has not showered in three days and you can smell him before you see him.

Do not do that at the table, do not be disgusting.

Regional synonyms

A lollipop, the most basic and accessible candy sold at school kiosks and corner stores across Colombia and Peru. Just a simple hard candy on a stick, the kind you grab without thinking twice.
