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

/Sounds like "roh" (as in "row") + "GOHN" (as in "go")/

Meaning

A shameless moocher who never stops asking for things. A rogon hits you up for favors, money, food, rides, and invitations over and over, even after being told no. In Mexico, this captures that one person in every group who is always working an angle without any embarrassment.

Examples

Stop begging, I already told you I am not lending you the car.

That guy is such a mooch, he is always angling to get himself invited everywhere.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de Argentina
Bandera de Uruguay
Manguear

To cause such intense secondhand embarrassment that you want to disappear from the face of the earth. When something gives you cringe, it's so awkward, so painful, or so out of place that it physically hurts to witness.
