@ebimenth ¿En Latinoamérica? Yo creo que sólo en México, si esta palabra existe en otro país probablemente tiene otro significado 🤔

@JOblomov de hecho es una jerga típica de México pero no existe en otros países y al ser solo de México en el resto de países entendemos lo que significa y hasta lo que entiendo casi toda latinoamerica usa jergas de otros países más que nada de México, así mismo mi país es Ecuador sabemos que fresa en México significa alguien añiñado/a en Ecuador es una fruta y nada más

Mamón is a word from slang used to describe somebody who is overly-strict usually as to be a zealot), grumpy, unfriendly, reactionary, entitled, picky or even conceited. Depending on context, it could be understood as any of the adjectives previously mentioned.
Examples:
El profesor es un mamón, no me acepto la tare porque se subió un minuto después de la hora límite. (The teacher is overzealous)
Esa enfermera tiene cara de mamona. (That nurse looks like she is unfriendly and grumpy)
No seas mamón y agarra uno. (About being picky)
Andaba de mamona y me regaño por traer minifalda. (The person described was overly-strict, and reactionary)
Él es muy mamón y nunca se preocupa por los demás. (He is conceited and self-fish)
Unfortunately, there's not a single definition, due to the fact it is slang, it has a very fluid meaning.
