Majo No Jouken
''Majo'' (masc.) or ''maja'' (fem.), also ''manolo'' and ''manola'', after the most popular names, were people from the lower classes of Spanish society, especially in Madrid, who distinguished themselves by their elaborate outfits and sense of style in dress and manners, as well as by their cheeky behavior. They flourished from the late 18th to early 19th century, and to some extent later. ''Majos'' and ''majas'' were one of the favorite subjects of some 19th-century Spanish painters. The ''majos'' and ''majas'' outfits were exaggerations of traditional Spanish dress. The style stood in strong contrast to the French styles affected by many of the Spanish elite under the influence of the Enlightenment. ''Majos'' were known to pick fights with those they saw as ''afrancesados'' ("Frenchified" – fops). In Spanish, the word possesses derived forms such as ''chulapo'' and ''chulapa'', a version of ''chulo'' and ''chula'' in reference to their saucy attitude, as well as ''chispe ...
