Definition of Mancea
- a tip, a gratuity
*1963: Its landscape is one of inanimate monuments and buildings; near-inanimate barmen, taxi-drivers, bellhops, guides: there to do any bidding, to varying degrees of efficiency, on receipt of the recommended baksheesh, pourboire, mancia, tip. — Thomas Pynchon, V.
*1980: We got up and Don Carlo looked critically at the money I had left on the table. ‘That is too much. A mancia of two lire. The waiter will be dissatisfied with those who leave a smaller but more rational mancia.' ‘You disapprove of generosity? Perhaps they will call me Don Quixote della mancia.' Neither of them thought that funny. — Anthony Burgess, Earthly Powers
