EN: stupid; dull-witted; foolish
A classic, old-school insult that your lola might use. It’s not as harsh as “gago” but more insulting than “bobo.” It’s for that person who keeps making the same mistake over and over, like falling for the same 'pa-fall' person. It has a vintage, almost poetic sting to it.
ma- (adjective prefix) + bang-aw (foolish)
ROOT MEANING: foolish, idiotic
Considered a strong and somewhat archaic insult. Use with caution.
