1. Literally spanish for Big Eared this is actually A slang term referring to hispanics from San Antonio. This term is currently in use in State and Federal prisons currently in Texas.

The word origin is unknown but is believed to have been originally derisive.

2. It is also believed that this may be slang for a person that is stubborn or childish. This is due to the habit of grandparents to pull on a childs ear directing him tot he task that should have been accomplished.

3. The "Orejones" are a prison gang originating from a group of San Antonio prisoners, growing in strength and popularity in State and Federal Prisons. This gang first formed as a form of self-protection from other organized groups. Some have said their name originates from St Anthony de Padua, the patron saint and namesake of the City of San Antonio, who was supposed to have large ears.

Get the orejones mug.
A branch/chapter of the prison organization T.A.N.G.O. (Together Against Negative Gang Organizations) from San Antonio, Texas

Orejones means "big ears" in spanish. The San Antonio Tango adopted this name because of one of their tattoos that they use to identify with... The playboy symbol.

Basically is a gang that originated in texas prison except they don't consider themselves a "gang" more just like a "penitentiary family". This is because of their (anti-blood in & blood out policy)
