/Sounds like 'mah-TOON-goh'/
An old, skinny, worn-out horse with no energy left. In Argentina and Uruguay, matungo is an affectionate or mocking term for a sorry-looking horse — and by extension, for any person or thing that looks beat up and past its prime.
"Ese matungo no va a ganar ninguna carrera."
"Me vendieron un matungo, el carro se rompió a los dos días. → That old nag isn't going to win any race."
"They sold me a lemon, the car broke down two days later."
