Someone who has absolutely zero sense of style. The type of person who has no awareness over how they are perceived and are usually stiff necks, not just physically but in a way in which they might take something very mundane and harmless very frantically.
Not just used for Americans, it stretches beyond one demographic in particular but it’s usually attributed to caucasian males somewhere around middle age who wear shorts and maybe a polo shirt.

It’s spring break and this guy just set up a whole picnic right outside the tiny space I have outside my apartment on the beach.

Get the gringo gorilla mug.In Colombia, a "gringo" (male) or "gringa" (female) is a person born in the United States of America; an informal substitute for the demonym "Estadounidense". It is used independently of the person's phenotype (a black American is also a gringo/gringa; the cousin who was born in the US is also a gringo/gringa), and it doesn't have per se a bad connotation. In fact many times it's used in a light funny or friendly manner. If used with a diminutive, "gringuito" or "gringuita", it is undoubtedly a friendly use of the word.
Example 1:
-Hey Alejandro! Your guest is asking for a dishwashing machine
-This spoiled gringo! lol I'll go in a sec and explain we don't use those
Example 2:
-The Colombian student texted me: "Hey gringuito, what are you doing tonight?", is she insulting me?
-No dude, if anything, she could be flirting
Example 3:
-Los gringos son en promedio más altos que los Colombianos
(On average, Americans/gringos are taller than Colombians)
-Pues sí lo noté en mi paseo, obvio
(I did notice it on my trip, obviously)
Example 4:
Mi esposo es gringo
(My husband is gringo/American)
-Hey Alejandro! Your guest is asking for a dishwashing machine

Get the Gringo mug.A nickname for a black person

Get the Afro Gringo mug.A nickname Mexicans use to refer to Americans. It seems many Americans think it's offensive, but as far as I've heard being said in Mexico, it's just a casual way to refer to Americans. Btw, the term seems to almost exclusively be used to refer to Americans for some reason.
