Coined by Italian-Canadians during the height of Italian immigrated to Canada. Translation to English is "cake eater". There are a few opinions of the direct origin. When Italians first settled into predominantly WASP neighborhoods around Toronto, they were often welcomed by these people of Anglo-Saxon decent with cake (i.e. pound cake). The perception by Italian-Canadians at this point was that Canadians eat a lot of cake, hence the term mangiacake.
Maria: These Canadians, always eat cake.
Vince: Yah, they are what we a call "mangiacake"
Reasons for an Italian-Canadian to call someone a mangiacake:
If you use butter to cook, versus extra virgin olive oil, then you are a mangiacake.
If your pasta sauce is from a jar branded as Ragu, Prego, etc, then you are a mangiacake.
If you pronounce Bruschetta as "broo-sh-edda", you are a mangiacake.

Get the mangiacake mug.A crappy sketch comedy show on Comedy Central that was only made as a cheap replacement for Chapelle's Show. Granted Carlos Mencia's previous stand-up specials were hilarious, this show is simply horse shit.

Get the Carlos Mencia mug.A fat, unfunny fraud. The majority of his jokes are just rehashes of Mexican jokes and anything dealing with that. The only difference is that Carlos has to emphasize everything and do this retarded "Dee Dee Dee" dance. Not to mention that he doesn't have a bit of Mexican in his blood. He's half Honduran, half German. Also, his real name is Ned Holness. He just used the Carlos Mencia alias to make him seem Mexican. In 2005, his sketch comedy TV show called "Mind of Mencia" hit Comedy Central, and it fails at making even the laughing type chuckle. Hopefully Comedy Central will wake the fuck up and realize that Ned Holness, I mean, Carlos Menstealia, fuck, I mean, Carlos Mencia is not funny.
Carlos Mencia should be revoked of his career, and all of his merchandise should be lowered into a volcanic crater.
