minga

/ˈminɡa/

collective work

Borrowed from Quechua mink'a.

noun, feminine/ˈminɡa/plural: mingas

penis

Synonyms: amigo, badajo, bicho, cabeza de papa, cabezón, callampa, carajo, chile

First attested in 1627. Of unclear origin, but similar to the synonym pinga. Possibly derived from the latter. Sometimes considered to derive from Latin mingere (“urinate”), but the considerable time-gap argues against it.

interjection/ˈminɡa/

no way; fuck off

Ese juguete es mío. ― ¡Minga! El que lo encuentra, se lo queda.That toy is mine. ― No way! Finders keepers.

Borrowed from Lombard minga.
