If you know any mexican people then you'll know this is a non-derogatory term used to refer to US citizens. Mostly because the term "American" does not make sense to the rest of the Americans (all those people who live in the continent named "America", wich is every body from Alaska to argentina), and the word "Estadounidense" (UnitedStatean)is too long. Folklore says it was generated when the US invaded mexico, wearing green uniforms, and the people shouted at them "Green Go Home". With time it lost all derogatory status and was turned into the most common word to refer to any US citizen.

"Hey, que pasa pinche gringo\! How is it going\!\!"

The word originated in Mexico, when the United States of America invaded Mexico in order to appropiate half of its territory, back on mid 19th century. Of course this action against "peace and freedom" is not in elementary school textbooks in USA, but it is in any other serious document about USA history. American soldiers entered the country through the Gulf of Mexico, taking down the main port of Veracruz and then heading towards Mexico City. The troops were wearing GREEN COATS. Mexican people along the way from Veracruz to Mexico suffered the advance of the enemy and many battles were fought. However, the American army finally reached Mexico City and took the city down in an epic battle still remembered by all the Mexicans: The battle of Chapultepec Castle. This palace, in the top of a hill, is the highest point over Mexico City: there was the Mexican flag, so it was a symbolic target. The headquarters of the Military College were in Chapultepec castle too, and when the "green coats" were climbing the hill, a few young cadets refused to leave and decided to defend the castle to death. Then, when the battle was helplessly lost, one of the cadets took the Mexican flag, wrapped himself on it and jumped off the cliff were the castle is set, dying in the rocks below, thus avoiding the American army to take the flag. When the American commander saw the corpses of the cadets, he said in amazement "They are only children\!". So they became in death Los Niños Héroes, the symbol in Mexico of the resistance against invaders: the American army... the green coats. The war was over and USA claimed half of Mexico's territory... then the green coats went home, having gained possesion of Texas and other territories -and their resources- (the same old motif than nowadys, but the speech has changed). Ever since, the relationtship USA-Mexico has developed into a very complex love-hate relationtship and the destiny of both nations is linked together, but back then, a new term was born in popular language: gringo (green coat) Now, let's make clear that the term is used nowadays the same as affectionate as pejorative and as none of the above too. As complex as it seems, Mexican people can use the word with different intentions but in any case with just one meaning: it refers in a common way to USA citizens, who are distinctive not because of the colour of their skin, but because of their culture and behavior (anyone outside USA knows exactly what behavior is it\!) Other derivatives of the word include: gringa: female for gringo, as substantive. gringo/gringa: as adjectives. agringado: something/someone that resembles USA culture or the American way of life. Gringolandia: U.S.A. As a final note i must say that the word spread to other countries over Latin America (even to Spain) where it is used to refer to foreigners and/or white people: but that's just the way some people outside Mexico understand the word\! Nevertheless, in Mexico, a "gringo" is just an American citizen. And it implies nothing else. *

American girls (springbreakers) are promiscuous. Esa casa es de estilo agringado.

1.-In Monterrey, Mexico, we use the word "gringo" for people who were born in the US. It has nothing to do with race. It's not derogative.It's a nationality. If someone says "pinche gringo" the derogative word is "pinche", not "gringo". We call them gringos because it'd be stupid to call them "americans", since America is a continent, not a country. 2.- Something from the US

1.- Derek is gringo. He was born in Boston. 2.- Q:Where did you get those jeans? A:They're gringos.

Gringo is a word used mostly by spanish speakers to define an anglo-saxon person, depending the connotation it can be offensive, neutral or even friendly. Also the meaning can change depending on the people that uses it. For example in Mexico and central America is mostly used in an insultive way. In Argentina due that most people has italian and spanian roots (white and brown hair) it's merely to describe someone that's anglo-saxon or very white and blonde, due to many "Gringos" that went to live to Argentina.

-No lo viste al gringo? -Haven't you seen gringo? -Ey gringo pasame la pelota\! -Hey gringo pass me the ball\! -Ese es un gringo de mierda -That one is a fucking gringo

Contrary to some things that have been posted here, the US did not wear green coats, or green uniforms, during the Mexican American War, so that explanation for the origin of this word is bogus. But the term is indeed related to American soldiers who invaded Mexico during the Mexican-American war. It actually came from the lines of what was then a song that was very popular with American infantrymen. See the example.

A popular American song during that time--one sung by many American troops as they marched--contained the repeated refrain: "Oh, the ash and the oak and the willow tree, And green grows the grass on the infantry" Being members of the infantry, the second line was sung with particular fervor. "Green grows" sounded like "gringoes" to the non-English-speaking Mexicans, so they used that term to refer to all of the American soldiers.

American, from the USA. The term comes from the american intervention in mexico in the late eighteen hundreds. Term derives from the popular phrase "green go home" yelled to american troops because of their green uniforms. It does not mean "white" or "caucasian" it is a derrogatory term depending on the context. Gringa: female gringo. In mexico city it is a dish of shepherd style pork and cheese in aflour tortilla topped with coriander onion and pineapple.

13. (gringo) (54↑, 51↓)
Term used to refer to a foreigner in a latin-american country. Can be derogatory or not, it usually is derogatory when an article is used before it (Este Gringo.) Believed to have originated from the chant "Green, Go" shouted at US soldiers during the Mexican-American war, It actually originates from the Spanish 'Griego' meaning greek. In spanish, the phrase "Hablar en Griego" or 'to speak in greek' means the same as the english "It's all greek to me." The word Gringo is an evolution of griego, which was used to describe any foreigner that had an accent that prevented them from speaking spanish; particularly the Irish.

"The Gringos are coming\!"

Yes Gringo can be used in a derogative light, but if used properly is not derogative. Gringo means "foreigner", not white person or person from the United States. In reference for the definition please use the American Heritage Dictionary, or the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy.

(derives from spanish griego, greek) Derogatory term for people from the United States. In Chile it refers to someone from the capital city, very similar to the mexican word [chilango]. Originally it aplied to any foreigner, as time passes it came to be a cruel synonym of [yankee]. Many people think that the word began during the Mexican revolition referring to the green uniform of the U. S. Marines, and mexicans yelled: "Green, go", but that is not the case, the word appeared much earlier in eighteenth century latin american and spanish literature. Its use is not exclusive to Mexicans, Now it is widely used by latin americans in general and even by europeans. Contemporary U. S. politics have brought this word to greater relevance, as the anti-gringo feeling has spread throughout the world.

In Mexico proper, "Gringo" can have a derogatory, or casual/ non pejorative meaning depending on the context of which it is delivered. "Gabacho" has more insulting connotations. A commonly held myth within the environs of Mexico itself is that the origin of "Gringo" was an allusion as to the U.S. Army under the commands of generals Taylor/Scott fielding green coloured uniforms, hence the "Green-Go\!\!\!" silliness. (This is utter rubbish, as any serious student of the Mexican-American War knows that it was the colour blue, and remained so till khaki, and later, onward thence to green, replaced it many decades later. A popular song commonly sung by the intrepid American troops, whilst they marched along was, "Green Grow the Rushes," these words being repeated (refrained) throughout the song, "Green grow,..etc," being taken by (the then) contemporary Mexican ear as "gringo." (The most "likely" origin...) In other regions, apart from Mexico itself, it basically refers to any "european looking" individual.

"Mira a los pinche Gringos de mierda\! Como es posible se ganan cada batalla, aunque se tienen erjecitos tan pequeno\!?\!" "Look at those damned shit Gringos\! How is it possible they win every battle, when they have armies so small\!?\!" (Outnumbered 2-3 to one in every major battle of the 1846-1848 war, when facing an actual standing army... Buena Vista, Chepaltepec, etc...)

A non Hispanic person usually Anglo/white. The word GRINGO is not from the Mexican Army calling US soldiers GREEN COATS. The US Army did not start wearing green uniforms until after 1900.

Green Coats are not American soldiers as most believe. The term Gringo was said to originate when American soldiers in Mexico would sing a song which the lyrics heard was GRINGO.

For as long as I can remember the word gringo has been a derogatory slang word for Americans in Spanish / Portuguese speaking countries. Quote from Wikepedia " Various dictionaries classify gringo as "offensive slang," "usually disparaging," and "often disparaging."

While many say that [Gringo] is non-derogatory I believe it is and the reasoning for not calling [Americans] as such is that America is a continent? It is also a country. I would not call a [Brazilian] an [American], as he would be called after his country. We [Americans] would also like to be called after our country\!

When I was 12 years old I traveled to Mexico. Our guide said Gringo came from a misunderstanding. The Spanish/Mexicans asked who the Americans who they were and the Americans thought they asked where they were from. They told them Green Groves...which became Gringos. My parents figured it was just a story so we would not take offense if/when we were called Gringos. As for those who say it is because America is a continent and not a country, The full name of the United States is The United States of America. Which is why we are called Americans. The full name of Mexico is the Estados Unidos Mexicanos which is why the people are called Mexicans\! The continent is not America it is North America and South America. All those who live north of Columbia are North Americans. All those who live south of Panama are South Americans. But the United States of America is the only country on either continent that has America as part of it's name. As far invading Mexico and taking it's land... Gringos were invited to move into Texas. They were living there as loyal Mexican citizens. But after Santa Ana declared himself a dictator several Mexican states including Texas revolted. Texas was the only one to win Independence. Then 10 years or so later after Texas joined the USA . Mexico wanted Texas back so declared war on the United States. Mexico lost and in the tradition of the day, the U.S.A. took more land as spoils of war.

The word "gringo" (feminine "gringa") can take on many definitions. Some include: 1. A Spanish word for a [white] person of non-mixed European heritage. Not to be confused with "gachupin", a word for people with Spanish or Portuguese heritage. Can be used both as a term of endearment or a pejorative. 2. A term Latinos use to describe or nickname a friend with noticable European characteristics, such as fair skin/hair or green/blue eyes, or one that is actually white. 3. "Gringa" can mean a [Mexican] [taco] made with spicy pork and a flour tortilla (which is white), served with a variety of salsa. 4. In many parts Latin america, it can mean a person specifically from the U.S.A. or Northern America. 5. Adjective used to describe something that is European. 6. A former member of [reggaeton] group Baby Rasta y Gringo, now known as a solo artist. 7. A Spanish techno artist. 8. Can also simply mean a "foreigner".

Positive: In Salvadoran rap group Pescozada's release of Dialectos nativos, rapper Joaquin Santos was referred to as a "gringo", even though he was present and actually collaborating with the group. Negative: "Get away from me, gringo\!" "Don't trust those gringos." Food: Which restaurant has the best gringa? Adjective: I'm a little alien to your gringo ways. Could you please explain them a little more?

If you travel around South America for any length of time, you'll come to realise that the word "gringo" there is generally synonymous with "foreigner", regardless of race or skin color. For example an Argentinian is a gringo in Brasil, a Colombian is a gringo in Chile etc. It's used in both Spanish and Portuguese. Technically then, Latinos are the "gringos" in the US... Most dictionaries say that it originally comes for the Spanish word for greek, which is "griego". This in turn dates back to a Medieval Latin phrase "Graecum est; non potest legi" (It is Greek; it cannot be read). A Spanish version of this is "hablar en griego", to speak Greek and therefore be unintelligible.

Informal term used in Latin and Central America to a person mainly from the US, but often from European and First World countries (one won't call an Ethiopian a gringo).

A gringo is primariliy identified by his/her behavior, showing obvious traits of a non-native person, such as: difficulty to understand and speak the local idiom; extravagant, distinctive clothing; strong willingness to learn and engage in local customs; slightly different facial expressions and posture (culturally learned).

A male Caucasian or white man. It’s NOT offensive or derogatory, as most white people believe even though their first language is usually not Spanish. We can’t exactly call you “el hombre blanco” which translates to “the white man”, so we call a white man a gringo. A gringa is a female Caucasian or white woman. I know all of this because, yes the first language I learned was Spanish, and I still speak it. So when a person says “llama la gringas” it translates to “call the white females”. The word gringo is like the word black in English. Of course when a person says, “Oh, look at those stupid gringos, they’re all stupid” it’s just as offensive the same way a person would say “Oh, look at those stupid blacks, they’re all stupid”. Gringo is also like the Spanish word chino, which means a Chinese male, or an Asian male. Unlike the many offensive terms for other ethnicities and races that the English language has(nigger, spic, wetback, beaner, chink, cracker), the Spanish isn’t so pinpoint in its offensive terms usually, and if there are, a lot of them are local terms. Gringo/gringa can also be used to tease a [Latino], Hispanic etc. person who is white in color and very fair skinned. My uncle calls me gringa, but it’s not offensive.

Actually,the word come from a popular song that the American soldiers sang during the Mexican-American War. The songs title was, "Green Grows the Liliacs". To older Mexicans, and Mexican-Americans the word IS intended as an insult. Today, it is a word overused and has lost its original meaning.

The Mexican heard "green goes the lilacs" and the word gringo came into being.

It depends who saying it( but the spanish used it correctly) The Spanish used it correctly to distinguish themselves from other white people.It does not mean Blonde person. The spanish used it to refer to White people with simliar complexion like those of southern europeans to distinguish themselves from them.Since they don't run with the spanish but are similar complexion they used the word gringo to notify other spanish decend that this person may look spanish or they may speak spanish well but that they are from from another language or country, derived form the work greek, like they speak some greek language or something strange or wierd or hard to speak, the spanish used the word gringo in meaning that this person is speaking in greek,like when the american use the word greek to describe something they don't understand. Now in this century, the word gringo hasn't been used correctly, Morenos people call anyone gringo that not of dark skin, or a mexican that doesn't speak spanish and there are alot of wrong assuption of the word gringo out there. Gringo was primarily used by the spanish to distinguish thenselves and classifying someone else that looks white but comes from a different country of origin. If A spanish or mexican back in the days where to see a blonde person, then they would just call them guerro(blonde person)or if they see a black person, then they would call him Negro etc, but if they see a white person that looks of spanish decent then they would call him gringo, this word was used to distinguish themselves from from spanish.They are not going to call him Blanco since the word blanco referes to someone of white spanish decent that also has a spanish surname and who's country of origin is of the hispanic coountries, this was a blanco, but a gringo is someone who surname and country of origin was not of spanish decent therefore the spanish would just say, " he's talking greek" meaning some weird language, which they used the word " el gringo"
