Bandera de México

/Sounds like "RAHN" + "flah"/

An old, beat-up car in terrible shape that still runs by some miracle. In Mexico and the Chicano community, a ranfla is that car with more history than useful life left.

Example

"There he goes in his beat-up ranfla but he won't let it go."

"My grandpa's ranfla is 30 years old and still running."

Cuando te regalan algo no critiques su calidad. Agradece y punto, aunque no sea lo que esperabas, porque la generosidad siempre vale más que el objeto.
