Gringo
Gringo (, Spanish: [ˈɡɾiŋɡo], Portuguese: [ˈɡɾĩɡu]) (masculine) or gringa (feminine) is a term in Spanish and Portuguese for a foreigner. In Spanish, the term usually refers to English-speaking Anglo-Americans. There are differences in meaning depending on region and country. Depending on usage, the term is sometimes considered derogatory, but is not always used to insult, and in the United States, its usage and offensiveness is disputed. The word derives from the term used by the Spanish for a Greek person: griego. The earliest attestation in English is in John Woodhouse Audubon's Western Journal of 1849–1850, in which Audubon reports that his party was hooted and shouted at and called "Gringoes" while passing through the town of Cerro Gordo, Veracruz.
