Zampones....................

Question

Goblins??? What does it mean?

Are you sure it is not "hampones' ( thugs?). - pacofinkler, Oct 26, 2014

Answer 1

Goblins are poorly raised and rude children that gobble their food down while screaming and running around the table in the restaurant. Just joking, kind of.

Answer 2

Zampones in Mexico is the plural noun of "zampón", meaning someone that eats excessively or voraciously. Although the word is used colloquially.

Answer 3

Following the lead of Jubilado, Jphip and the comment of Rac1, I found "zampar" in RAE.

I Mexico anyway, it usually is used for a person eating to excess , or rapidly.

It implies an astonishment in a lighthearted way.

Example;

Fuimos al restaurante argentino, y Juan se zampó un lomo de casi un kilo.

I have to comment that I find it so interesting how some of these threads can go from Zampones to goblins to rustic flutes to excessive eaters

Answer 4

I believe it should be Zampone´s Goblin. Dungeon and Dragon character miniature.

Klix - Goblin Underboss, Zampone

Please try searching the internet first next time.

Pura vida.

Answer 5

Zampoña is an andean panpipe. I couldn't find the word you posted.

The first thing that came to mind for me was Zamboni, the ice rink machine. - 00551866, May 28, 2014

Used in voodoo. - rac1, May 28, 2014

Perhaps it is "zampón" applies to the person who eats a lot and eagerly. gluttonous, greedy. - rac1, May 28, 2014

Answer 6

No it's not dungeons and dragons. It's just the word "zampone".

Answer 7

Funny,--- I did find "Zampone" in Italian as a cooked pigs foot.
