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

Having a lot of nerve or shameless audacity, doing something bold without a hint of embarrassment. Used in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras, "harta cara" is a regional intensifier that hits even harder than the standard "cara dura."
