A noun short for "Mexican National." Nationals are members of the aristocracy of Mexico who either come to America on vacation primarily to buy everything they see or for permanent residence. Nationals are characterized by quick Spanish speaking, materialism, walkie talkies, children on leashes, heelies, rudeness, and yelling in public. Nationals usually inflict major cities of Texas and other border states.
I want to go to the mall, but it is Easter weekend so I know that all of the Nationals are going to be there.

Smithy: "Tell me class-is the United States Nationalist?"
Ricardo: Fosho because we got a national identity. There was also a linguistic change to reflect a nationalistic identity after the civil war. Abe Lincoln did this intentionally he was like “The United States HAS a proud people.” before that people would be like “The United States HAVE a proud people.” The 1st is in plural form. The 2nd is in singular. The 2nd reflects nationalism.
Pedro: No! We aint nationalist because our value system encourages other things. The military is made to limit nationalism por ejemplo- military officers cannot hold public offices they must resign their military position 1st
The Millitary's slogans aren't nationalist either:
“1st Duty, 2nd Honor, 3rd Country”
or
“1st God, 2nd Family, 3rd Country”
