Get the mzungu mug.The Swahili word, ‘mzungu’ or ‘muzungu’ (sounds like “muh-zun-gooo”) is generally taken to mean ‘white man’, although it does apply to women as well.
It can also mean some sort of ‘boss’, whether you are male or female, black, brown or white!
Originally stems from the phrase, “those who wonder aimlessly”, and linked to African experiences of early explorers, traders and missionaries.
In itself mzungu is not a derogatory or negative term. Although it can appear aggressive or negative if accompanied with requests for money.

Get the Mungus mug.Muzungu is a word from the languages of Kinyarwanda and Kirundi meaning "white person" (pl. 'bazungu'). It is closely related to the Kiswahili word 'mzungu', with which it is often confused by Westerners. A derivative is the derogatory 'kazungu' meaning 'little white person'.

Get the Mungunzul mug.Mold PLUS fungus = Mungus. Instead of saying there's a lot of mold and fungus in the air or on something, there would be a lot of mungus on it.
There is a lot of mungus all over everything in the forest today because it's been a very wet and humid Fall. There's mold everywhere and fungus everywhere. There's even "mungus" in the air!
