One rather fanciful theory traces its origin to the Mexican-American War of 1846-48 and the song "Green Grow the Rushes-oh", supposedly sung by the American troops. According to another theory it is a corruption of griego or "Greek", in the sense of anything foreign and unintelligible, as in the English expression "it's all Greek to me".* * *I- ga adjetivoa) (AmL fam & pey) gringo, foreign ( of or relating to a gringo II a))b) (Andes fam) ( rubio) fair-hairedII- ga masculino, femeninoa) (AmL fam & pey) ( extranjero) gringo, foreigner ( from a non-Spanish speaking country); ( norteamericano) Yank (colloq & pej), Yankee (colloq & pej)b) (Andes fam) ( rubio) (m) fair-haired boy/man; (f) fair-haired girl/woman* * *= gringo.Nota: Término peyorativo.Ex.

17 huevosed
Bentley: 1917. Bentley indicates that this term was probably confined to 1846-1848, the duration of the Mexican-American War. During this time, the verb 'to huevo' meant either to purchase or steal the eggs from a ranch, farm, or poultry yard. The phrase " huevosed the ranche" was coined during this time, and he suggests that it was formed by analogy from "vamoosed the ranche." -

20 fuste
(Sp. model spelled same [fúste] < Latin füstem 'stick, staff, club')Blevins: 1844. A Mexican saddle or its wooden saddletree over which a cloth is thrown. It is sometimes used to differentiate between an American and a Mexican saddle. The Mexican saddle uses less leather than the American and can be damaging to a horse's back. Glossed in the DRAE as the framework of a riding saddle. The DRAE also notes that this term may refer poetically to a saddle. Santamaria references it as a saddletree that consists of two inclined planes that leave an opening in the center. At the front is the cabeza del fuste, or head of the saddle, and at the other end is the teja, or cantle. Islas concurs and provides the names of the various parts of the fuste and the several varieties of saddletree that are used in Mexico.Alternate form: fusty.
