This was a word used in Puerto Rico over 55 years ago, apparently forgotten until recently. It meant a lazy man without a job nor home who lived with his family; or a bum. It was also used as a comparison or name calling to a man’s genital. The main areas used were Puerto Nuevo, Canovanas and Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. Other derivatives were; mamarron and mamarrete. It was used in place of, “sucker “ but unrelated to homosexuality.
