Thanks! Thanks, Luiza for asking your Mom. That's a great resource, isn't it?
Luiza Modesto Jul 17, 2009:
According to my mom, "boca marrenta" is that sensation you get when you eat some green (unripe) fruits, such as a green banana or peel from green mangoes. It feels like you have a slightly roughish, stickyish film all over your tongue and palate.
