Rubbish; refuse.
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.
