The phrase "Thats
Mexican" means: To ruin a perfectly good thing. Whether it is a vehicle that runs,looks,and appears to be in
good working condition, and the person strips the
car of everything and replaces it with an overwhelming amount of chrome, velvet,tassels, tawdry mudflaps ,or any other shiny gaudy part that they can find at the local PepBoys while changing their
oil in the parking lot. In their eyes they see a vehicle that demands respect, so much so that they never roll up their
windows but lower the driver seat and cruise. To the rest of the world we see a tastelessly showy vehicle that is owned by a sexual predator. At that very moment the value of the
car has sunk to $
0. "Thats
Mexican" is not only used to describe vehicles but also Houses that are in a safe, descent community and once the ownership of the home is in the hands of the new owners they use mediocer materials such as masonry bricks, block, stone, and all forms of architectural products and they install the material wherever,as long as it
will stick to the house. The finishing touch is a "Mother Mary" shrine such as a ceremonial candle display or water feature.
Wife: "Honey, I realy love this area im glad we found this quiet, clean, safe neighborhood."
Husband: "Lets just drive down this last street then we
will call the realtor."
Both Wife & Husband: "Look at that House, holy shit what did they do to it? That house is
retarded, they ruined it, "Thats
Mexican".
