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.
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.
