Add a word/Sounds like "MEHN" (as in "met") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
Meaning
A humorous or ironic way to say "me" or "yours truly" in Spanish from Spain, rooted in the Caló word for "I." The speaker refers to themselves in the third person with a self-deprecating or comedic tone. Extended forms like "el menda lerenda" or "el mendurri" amplify the joke.
Examples
“And who's making dinner? Yours truly, of course.”
“Yours truly over here has been working all morning.”
