Get the gringomug. by mexman February 13, 2004
Get the gringomug. Despite what some people think, it is a non-derogatory term used to name USA born people in countries like Mexico and Brazil.
Some people could call a foreign tourist (i.e. a french or a german) also "gringo" but it is only because they can't perceive (or don't care about) the obvious difference: language.
Female form: gringa.

Get the gringomug. An offensive, derogatory term used to single out whites. Most of the time American but can be European. Rarely, if it all, is the term used to refer to a black person (who are normally called morenos), American Indian, Japanese, or any other racial/ethnic group.
It evolved from "Green, Go" to refer to the US soldiers wearing Green Coats during the Mexican-American War. Hispanics of Mexico (who are really just mestizos - Half Spanish/Half Amerindian - or confused American Indians) will try to justify using the term at all costs as it has not only a comedic effect but has become very much ingrained in their culture.
