    It's a term of endearment. NOT.

    It can be for any better reasons or no particular one at all. To be defined as what can

    be better described as a person walking into a situation, that is either humorous, or in darker tones A
    person who is of a buffoon carriage with hopes bigger than ability. e.t.c.

    It was a random insult first chronicled on a Sunderland board,between one mackem and another.The imagery of someone with downs syndrome who was wearing clown shoes seems to have tickled the funnybone of some posters on here and has since,as the saying goes,"taken wing".
    I am far too cool to follow the whims of fashion and fly-by-night fads so never use it myself,but feel free to use it yourself.....ya clown shoe mong:wink:

    When you all say mong do you mean hmong which is pronounced mong? I have been wondering that for a while. We got a bunch of hmong street gangs here in Cali. M.O.D is the big one.

    Bloody Elle. Mong originally refers to the *****loid. The misshappen
    headed ppl of a prehistoric plethora. In
    today's slang. It's shortened in keeping with fad jargon.

    It comes from *****loid (meaning someone with a *****l look to them). This is a derogatory term because it used to be linked to people with down syndrome etc.

    Ah, ok. It isnt something that is said here.

    If you ever watched the Clint Eastwood movie Gran Torino its about a hmong street gang.

    I disagree. I posted that clip from Jay and Silent Bob with it in, and that was a 2001 film.
