What does this mean?

My last night - the last time I was in Villavicencio last month; I drank with a bunch of Costenos. They got a kick out of teaching me to say, "mune que burro". My wife is literally getting upset with me for seperating those word(s). She says it is one word. Anyway, what the F*** does that mean? Munequeburro or mune que burro? Everybody got a laugh out of me saying it. What was I saying; or what is the slang meaning?

muñeca e burro http://www.barranquilla-online.com/BOL/diccio.html
muñeca e burro = donkey's wrist = cool

dont ask for any deeper explanation 'cause you wont find it.

Costeños are very happy people and they construct those words just out of nothing... and they have fun doing it... there is not logic at all (in good terms)

ummmm....why would they be laughing if all he said was "cool"? it has to have a dirty slang meaning......humorous suggestion: hung like a burro.......jajajja

Thanks rca_rodrigo. I didn't think they were making fun of me. Everybody was yelling that across the bar to each other between drinks of aguardiente and Aguilas. I just had been wondering what that phrase meant. I appreciate the info. My wife couldn't seem to articulate to me what that meant. And you are correct - those were a happy bunch of guys. I have to visit the coast next trip down. For the record, I drank them under the table. I have pics to prove it.
That's a Costeno passed out with ex-esposa and hija.

Miguel, that was the first thing I thought too (hung like a burro). But when I asked my wife about that, she said it had nothing to do with the 3rd leg. But, she also had no idea what "the finger" was. So, I am open to more opinions / information.

Good Try not to make a war from jokes.

They like to hang out with people, have tons of fun, but with some alchohol in everybody's heads it could be not so funny.

Just try to be respectful, 'cause they also get angry in just one second. (f.e. don't ever ask why they like to _ uck with donkeys) but thats a fact well know all around my country.
