The Spanish have a perfectly respectable word mondongo

<snip> English definition of Mundungus
 
HMMMM... come to think of it, that actually says that "mundungus" is 
an old ENGLISH slang word, doesn't it? I just fixated on "Spanish" in 
the first paragraph.

Well, mondongo does exist (which means it's reflected in the Spanish 
dictionary, DRAE), but is a VERY old word which isn't used anymore. It 
means pig tripes, human tripes (familiar use) or a ridiculous dress (go 
figure!). However, mundungus doesn't exist as such in Spanish.
