Meaning of megombo




furoya

megombo
  32

It is an ingenious neologism that would mean "scandal or very big bull, situation with a very serious problem". And the origin is in the word quilombo or kilombo, which in joking form is assumed with the prefix kilo- ("per thousand") and is changed to mega- ("per million"), implying that it is even larger. By some mistake see Negombo, mogambo.

  




Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez

The correct term is Negombo, with n at the beginning. It is the name of a town in Sry Lamka (formerly Ceylon) that belongs to gampaha District, Western Province. It is also named after a beach on the Indian Ocean in that same region.
