magunanzi

A label for things that are especially good, often delicious food but also anything top-quality.

(mah-goo-NAHN-zee) - noun / adjective, praise slang. "The good stuff / the tasty ones / top-tier." Commonly used for good food, but can praise anything that slaps, in a nice way: a playlist, sneakers, a plan or even sex. Origin note (likely): many folks link it to madhonanzi (doughnuts) from childhood, sweet treats = “the good ones,” which then broadened into a general compliment. (Folk etymology, but it tracks.). Synonyms - nice-nice, levels, correct, manyama (very good)
