What 10 the definition Of tho word
"gringo," used by the Mexican people
against the United States. and where
did it originate?
One explanation says the word Origi-
mated during our war with Mexico.
when the Americans called the MeXi-
cans greaserS. and the latter In retalia-

ing picked up the word from hearing
American sailors singing. "Green grow
the r,iSheS o. This explanation prob
ably IL fanciful. because. first the term
is applied I'm Mexico to Englishmen as
well as Americans: second. it prevails
in Chile, where all English speaking
persons are called gringOS. The word
is found in n standard Spanish die
tionary thus: "GringO. adjective. mean
ing unintelligible. gibberiSh: applied to
language" This definition makes the
word applicable to any language other
than Spanish W. w. Greener. an
Englishman who Travelled in Chile and
wrote a hook about the country. says.
"Englishmen. or gringOS. as they are
cOntemptuOusly termed. are not liked
in Chile and travelling is uncomforta-
BILE and dangerous" The Spanish
word for Greek Is GriegO. and from
this may easily have come Il word de-
scriptive Of all uninteliigible languages
and persons speaking them.
