/Sounds like "mee" (as in "me") + "lohn" (as in "loan") + "GEH" (as in "get") + "roh" (as in "row")/
Someone who complicates everything unnecessarily, takes forever to get to the point, or wraps simple things in layers of excuses and detours. Used in Argentina and Uruguay. The irony is that milonguero comes from milonga (tango dance hall), but in this sense it refers to someone who dances around the subject instead of just saying what they mean.
“Stop being a milonguero and just tell me directly what you want.”
“That guy is such a milonguero, he can never give a straight answer to a simple question.”
/Sounds like "mee" (as in "me") + "lohn" (as in "loan") + "GEH" (as in "get") + "roh" (as in "row")/
Someone who frequents the milonga and dances tango regularly. Also describes someone who overcomplicates things or talks around the point, meaning depends entirely on context in the Río de la Plata.
“My uncle is a dedicated tango dancer, he goes three nights a week.”
“Stop making things complicated and just say what you want directly.”

In Mexico, to pester or mess with someone repeatedly and unnecessarily, like endless hazing or pointless pressure. The person doing it always insists it's just a joke, but the target disagrees.
