- It's used affectionately to refer to people. For example, "This monguise doesn't even know how to parallel park!". It's not necessarily an insult.
Monguise
folk etymology Noun
A fool or an insignificant person or thing.
Etymology : Unclear. One possibility is that it derives from "Come on, guys". Another is that it derives from "mongoose". However, I have heard it pronounced both "mon-gize" or "mon-gwee-say".
