/Sounds like "SAHN" (as in "salsa") + "gah" (as in "garden") + "noh" (as in "note")/
A lazy freeloader who lives off others without contributing anything. The name comes from the male drone bee that produces no honey and depends entirely on the colony. In Mexico and Central America, a zángano is always around but never helps, always has an excuse, and expects everyone else to carry the weight.
“That freeloader has been home for months, living off his mom without any guilt.”
“Don't be a deadweight and help out around the house.”
