After Thelma and Louise, Brad Pitts career took off. As he waited for studio advances in his next role, he had to make ends meet.
Universal agreed Pitt would be the next big thing. First, they insisted he have his teeth straightened. Being Pitt didn’t have any money, and was existing only on tacos in East LA served from Taco Trucks, he had to take on a job prepping veggies and making salsa. The salsa he made was mediocre at best but with the ego of Pitt believing it was the best hot sauce ever, he had a plan.
Pitt took his plan to the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) and pitched it. “ I’ll be the next best thing if I can get my teeth straightened. Being I don’t have a cent to my name, I’ll leverage my future earnings in hopes that the AAO will provide me the money. In exchange, I will provide my likeness and recipe for my East LA famous Salsa, Papi Pitts.”
They liked the idea but wanted to be sure they had their name on the bottle. They insisted AAO would be on the label.
While drunk on pulque, Pitt showed up to work one morning and ate an absurd amount of tacos to cure the hangover. Of course he had a copy of the contract with him as he had for weeks.
As he sat at the benches outside the truck, it struck him. An anagram of AAO and Pitt to create a new senseless word would keep him in compliance, his face centered and his teeth would be straight.
It only took a few minutes to recognize there is only one reasonable word that includes AAO and Pitt.

Noun
pay-HO-tah
A Pejota is a Latin American/Spanish/Anglo female that is as comfortable in the Anglo world as the Latino world.
Usually she cooks and entertains like a professional chef who can pull off burgers, fried chicken, apple pie and steaks but with equal ease can make horchata and tortillas from scratch, a SuperSabroso Chimi, tamales and Milanese like your abuela.
She also can dance to any music, loves to sing and can toss back tequila, whisky, vodka, red wine or Sangria all with equal attention to quality. A rare find ranked highly and coveted by two continents.
Never trashy/naca. Never a princess: Always appropriately dressedand participating in all occasions: business, pleasure, weekend, workouts, travel, yard work, housework.
Pejoto = male.

Man, she is amazing - I need a partner with all that passion, sophistication and zest for life. I need a "Pejota". Cross cultural is the only way.
