Funny how words pick up negative connotations, kinda on there own. I was reading where the word or is it a phrase "black hole" had picked up a negative connotation.seamusTX wrote:Gringo simply means foreigner in Spanish, though it has picked up a negative connotation.- Jim
That was news to me. It had something I think to do with Dallas politics.
I saw a post here recently about a "black gun" and wondered if that was now not a politically correct term to use, since "black hole" was now not considered acceptable in Dallas.
I'm glad to here that Gringo only means foreigner as I have noticed that in a number of Mexican restaurants, I seem to order the "gringo plate". Most Mexican restaurant seem to have a gringo plate, and its funny that they always seem to have just the right mixture of what I want.
