n.
the word originally means 'charcoal-pan' in Bulgarian. the modern meaning, however, is quite different- with the word mangal people refer to gypsies and their pleasant black/grown skin color and nuances
"shti e*a maikata be, mangal", quite similar in meaning to the american 'fuck yo mamma yo niggah' but since there are hardly any afroamericans in bulgaria, the famous world-wide swear is adjusted to the specific geographical and ethnic characteristics of the country..

Mangal is a Bulgarian/Turkish word meaning brazier—a large metal or ceramic vessel, usually placed on a pedestal, used traditionally for burning charcoal to heat rooms or cook food. Because it is constantly exposed to fire, ash, and smoke, a mangal is typically blackened by soot and burnt residue.

In Bulgarian slang, mangal is also used as a insult, primarily aimed at Roma (Gypsies) or, more broadly, dark-skinned people. The insult comes from the association between the mangal’s black, dirty appearance.
Guy 1: “When I was traveling by train to the beach, just after the Sliven station, I saw two gypsies next to the tracks slaughtering a dog. They had this huge bowl and were putting the meat inside—looked like they planned to eat it.”
Guy 2: “Sick mangals…”
