Definition of Mamañema

República Dominicana

ORIGIN OF MAMAÑEMA

Mamañema is a word made up of two pieces, namely mama and ñema. Its use is almost exclusive as an adjective in the Dominican Republic. Mama comes from the verb “su#ck” and refers to the action of absorbing something tangible with the mouth, usually to extract some type of liquid.

On the other hand, ñema is one of the many ways that exist to name the glans. That is, it refers directly to the head of the pe#nis. For all the above, the whole word designates someone who practices fellatio. However, its use is not generally literal, but rather as a high-grade insult and synonymous with mamaguevo.
