Matumbo refers to the Nike Zoom Matumbo, a track shoe made by Nike for elite distance runners racing the 3,000 to 10,000 meter in competitions.

Nike named the shoes the Zoom Matumbo after Bernard Lagat, a US elite distance runner, said that the hole in the back of the spikes reminded him of a Matumbo, which in his native African language means the best part of the goat.

matumbo fuck 

a joke played by mischevious teenagers against their seemingly innocent, yet devilishly gullible friend. The joke compounds on the story of Matumbo, a black man from Namibia with a large penis who is out to get the unsuspecting girl, although she puts on the facade of innocence, deep down she really wants Matumbo's warm dark body against her frame. the "fuck" portion is the climax of the gag
Dude, after we had her riled up, we TOTALLY Matumbo fucked her right in the face.

Mutumbo Finger 

Infamous from Dikembe Mutombo, former NBA big man, waiving your pointer finger while saying, "No, no, no, no" he did this to opponents after blocking a shot. Similarly, doing so to people in public treats them as 3 year olds and makes them furious.
I cut off this erratic driver and passed him while giving him the Mutumbo finger, he punched his steering wheel in response.
