Get the gringomug. For a group of friends to verbally abuse a newly met person for no apparent reason other than for fun.
A good gringoing can last for days if not weeks.
Please note this is not to be confused with being two faced, as this is for pure comedic reasons.
Also note after you have participated in a gringoing session a total lack of respect between the gringoed and the gringoing will ensure. Often leading to snigering upon the next meeting.

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.

Get the gringomug. For as long as I can remember the word gringo has been a derogatory slang word for Americans in Spanish / Portuguese speaking countries. Quote from Wikepedia " Various dictionaries classify gringo as "offensive slang," "usually disparaging," and "often disparaging."
While many say that Gringo is non-derogatory I believe it is and the reasoning for not calling Americans as such is that America is a continent? It is also a country. I would not call a Brazilian an American, as he would be called after his country. We Americans would also like to be called after our country!

Get the gringomug. Informal term used in Latin and Central America to a person mainly from the US, but often from European and First World countries (one won't call an Ethiopian a gringo). Usually derogatory, relating to a clumsy and/or unadapted character. A gringo is primariliy identified by his/her behavior, showing obvious traits of a non-native person, such as: difficulty to understand and speak the local idiom; extravagant, distinctive clothing; strong willingness to learn and engage in local customs; slightly different facial expressions and posture (culturally learned).
"Man, I'm cracking up here! Check that gringo trying to dance samba!!"
"What about visiting the Presidential Memorial?" "Nah, only gringos go there..."
"Tell you what: let's speak English tonight and tell the girls that we are gringos full o' cash!"
"You're really American?? You don't look/sound so gringo..."
