Pagafantas

[poli]

I just learned this word. It is a term for a man who is a friend, but a friend nothing more to a young woman. It's a brotherly -type friendship with little or no sexual complications.

Obviously, he's the guy who will buy you a Fanta, and be a woman's confidant with no strings attached. I don't know if there's a term for it in English.--maybe guyfriend?or schnook--but that's somewhat derogatory.

Anyway, is this a commonly used term? Is it Spain specific?--I suspect it is.

As fas as I know, this is a film. I had never heard that word before.

Maybe it comes from paga (que paga, de pagar) Fantas (a drink brand, Fanta de naranja o Fanta de limón ) -witout alcohol-

Due a film, it's a famous word now, but I have listen it before.
If you want a girl, you follow her, and try.
But if she only see you "as a mere friend", you have two options:
- leave.
- To stay thinking "perhaps one day she will change her mind..."
THIS person is a "pagafantas",a boy who will follow the girl, acompany her ("pagando las fantas"/paying the "fanta"/Coca-cola) and being a tears-pillow when the girl's boyfriend leaves her. Because "perhaps one day".....

It's derogatory, but not really mean. It's used for young boys ("pagafantas" not "pagawhiskeys" ). It's like "tonto perdido"
Saludos

Hehe.. parece que sí aunque en Holanda y Belgica también hay un fenomeno 'popular' (sobre todo entre los adolescentes) llamado 'Loverboy' .

No sé si esto pasa/tiene lugar en los EEUU, America del Sur o España también pero se trata de muchachos jovenes, que se ponen como chulos (¿ no sé si es la palabra correcto?).

Es decir por primero, se adula muchachas jovenes, y después se las fuerza/ obliga hacer cosas sexuales con ellos y otros hombres..
O a veces también las utilizan como 'drugmule'.

¿Cómo se llama sugar-daddy en español y hay un término por este tipo de 'loverboy' y 'drugmule' también?

Voy a tener que hacer una pequeña investigacion al respecto.

No sé si hay palabras en español para lover boy y drugmule. En mi vida había escuchado la palabra drugmule

Bueno, se utiliza a menudo esta palabra en las series americanas, como CSI y Law & Order..

'Mule' o 'Drug Mule' .
