Get the Gringomug. by mytiktokis_soggycookies_ April 18, 2021
Get the gringomug. In Ecuador - Any person of foreign and or non-domestic birth or characteristics regardless of their nationality.
Rest of the word - Slang for an English-speaking U.S. (often Canadian) citizen in a Spanish-speaking country. It is less offensive than words like cr@cker but still implies a slight lack of respect or at least a lightly humorous vent. Not used in any legal sense.
