bolillo
"That's not what he said you ignorant wretch. Your spanish is worse than your english." - Tombstone
I'm surprised no one has really tackled the definition for this one yet! Bolillo is a name for varying kinds of Mexican (white) bread. I disagree with the other definition that states bolillo is a racial slur, however. I've traveled in Central America and Mexico (and Texas, my home) and never got the impression that 'bolillo' was a negative term. It is simply a general term for light-skinned, non-mexicans which may be used in a negative fashion. See 'gringo' and 'guero' for additional related terms.
