You know in all the time I have enjoyed Mexico, and its various charms I have never really understood the meaning of the word. Ofcourse I know what it means... but is it deragatory? I notice we use it on here a lot to describe ourselves, other mongers and the "tourists" buying leather goods and blankets on Saturday. But is it bad? I have noticed alot of Mexicans seem to smile or find it amusing when whites describe other whites as Gringos. Is this just a catch all phrase for Americans or just those of us who are white?
