A conquistador was the name given to the Fifteenth-to-Seventeenth century Spanish and Portugese soldiers who conquered much of the world, most famously the Central and Southern Americas. Not nice guys, but effective, and the term is still used today to describe certain people — ruthless business types, etc — who are brutally efficient at what they do. The most famous conquistador was the Spanish adventurer, Hernando Cortes, who subdued the mighty Aztec Empire of Mexico. The word comes, not surprisingly, from the Spanish verb conquistar, "to conquer."
It does not show that the namers were prophets or wise judges, for the Spaniards really knew California not at all for more than two centuries, and then only as a genial but rather barren land; but it shows that the conquistadores mixed poetry with business and illustrates the glamour thrown about the Northern Mystery

n. someone that takes the literal meaning of words, subject, or concept and tries to apply logic which essentially ruins the original intent (often fun and playful)
Rod: That definition makes no sense, what does a conquistador have to do with Asian women? The Spanish never conquered Asia - maybe the Philippines but that was it...
Tiff: OMG, you are the conquistador - stop over analyzing and take it for what it is, its urbandictionary jeez.

What you yell at people of a different race then run away, especially when they take your normal sitting area and listen to very loud salsa music all the time.
