- sigzero 9y agoNot that it is 100% reliable but I put "mongo" in Google translate for all three of those languages and it comes out "mongo". Unless mongo is "slang" in those languages.
- GenericsMotors 9y agoIt is slang, short for "mongoloide". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mongo https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mongo Interesting this isn't the case with English.
- zimpenfish 9y agoEnglish would be "mong". Probably because we got lazy with our abusive terms in the 70s and 80s. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mong#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mong#English (Etymology 3)
