Bandera de México

/Sounds like "ro-GOHN" ("ro" as in "rope", "gohn" as in "gone")/

Someone who is always asking for things, constantly begging for favors without any shame. A rogón will hit you up for money, food, rides, or invitations over and over again until they get what they want. In Mexican slang, it describes that one friend who never stops mooching.

Example

"No seas rogón, ya te dije que no te voy a prestar el carro. -> Stop begging, I already told you I'm not lending you the car."

"Ese wey es bien rogón, siempre anda pidiendo que lo inviten a todos lados. -> That dude is such a mooch, he's always asking to get invited everywhere."

Regional synonyms:

Robar o hurtar algo a alguien, especialmente en la calle o en el transporte público. En Argentina 'afanar' es la palabra más usada para describir un robo callejero.
