Mongo Aurelio - fictional character in old Buenos Aires and Montevideo African communities. "Anda a contarle al Mongo Aurelio" means go and tell it to the mongo Aurelio, that is, it is useless. Mongo in general means slave master or like the Mongo Teodoro above, aka Mongo Polvora, aka Mongo Canot, a real head of a slave factory or barraca in the West African Coast (around 1810 - 1830). A healthy African male cost 400 dollars (equivalent to about 20000 dollars of today) put on the trader's barracon. The Mongo Ormond was a mulatto, onetime partner of Mongo Teodoro. 77.126.152.169 (talk) 14:15, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Mongo = objects plucked/rescued from the trash

 * Mongo objects plucked/rescued from the trash, especially in New York CityNYTimes March 31,2008 P.B6

Mongo: trash, cast-offs, street gleanings; the act of collecting it; and the people who do it, particularly as practiced in New York City.

Mongo: Adventures in Trash, by Ted Botha; Bloomsbury 2004, 242 pages

'Mongo is a slang term ... that refers to an object that has been reclaimed from the trash. According to The Cassell Dictionary of Slang, quoted at the beginning of Ted Botha's book, it's a term specific to New York, which is fitting because Botha's exploration of mongo is likewise based in New York. In each of his ten chapters Botha discusses different types of trash reclamation by profiling some of the "collectors" he's met. He writes about freegans and "canners" and artists who work with found objects, about "black baggers," about people who trade in discarded books...' -69.87.200.249 (talk) 14:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to revert this edit if no one can come up with a citation in, say, a week. Dictouray (talk) 20:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Cleaned up page
Made a few edits to remove unencylopedic entries and took out any line that didn't have a blue link to another page - that's what a disambig page is for. -- Stani Stani  21:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

"General" definition of Mongo
I have decided to remove the line "Generally: a total spastic" as firstly it is unsupported by other dictionary definitions and does not, itself, specify a source of this information and secondly because the term "spastic" does not seem to be very appropriate language for an encyclopaedic entry. Furthermore, this definition falsely appears under the "Geographic" section.
