You ever had somebody ask you for a “moño” and then you had to ask, “what the hell is that” because you never heard of that word before? A “moño” is another word for a hair tie, hair elastic, etcetera. When somebody asks you for one, they’re likely asking for one of your scrunchies or hair ties. Unrelated to the Spaniard translation of “moño” because, trust, no one is asking you for a hamburger bun. (Personal Note: My Puerto Rican family has called hair ties “moños” their entire life, including myself. Nobody seems to know where the word came from, but it’s probably a Latino and/or a Caribbean thing.)
