manker
the barren area or place(lugar) of land within or surrounded by an urban sprawl, devoid of either tree, shrub or grass. Its derivation is certainly Arabic and refers to a barren desert like place on which nothing grows.Although now extant the Caribs adopted it as a Spanish loan word in the seventeenth century, undoubtedly from a translation of Cervantes' "Don Quijote" where it occurs in the first 12 words of this immortal book "en un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre, no accordarme.....". Regrettably, lugar was superceeded by the English "place". Both words can lay claim to being the not only the first words of a new creole, yet to become American/African/British Urban, but their first and oldest autographed appearance in the translation of any novel. The pronunciation manker(as in hanker and the obscenity w.....) is closer to the Arabic manxa than the current Spanish pronunciation Mancha, and it should be stated that the 1616 first edition utilises manxa. It would be a great pity if this word and its already extinct companion lugar were to give up the ghost, by that I mean die, as Don Quijote said.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Great mug got one for my highschool crush
I was very pleased with the mug and I was thrilled that I could purchase a customized item that perfectly suited the person I was gifting. The only issue I had was that it didn't have the quote from the tv show the word came from as that was pictured on the mug prior to purchase.
Came out just as described! Had the full definition. Very pleased!
Perfect gift As a joke I gave one to my mate but I costumised it. It said tom drunk 24/7 ugly and got lovely hair. The lovely hair part was a joke coz he don’t have any. It was his favourite gift he got for his birthday and he drinks his beer out of it 😂
