Mexicaca is a derogatory term that is used when someone talks about a Mexican. It is usually used by a non Mexican Latino but other races have been known to use the term as well. The literal translation of Mexicaca is Mexi-Shit as caca means shit in Spanish.
The reason a Latino would normally use the word is because of US culture grouping every Latino as a Mexican. Thus hate grew towards the Mexican because they feel Mexico represents nothing of them and their home country. Others feel when they are called "Mexican" they are seen with the usual stereotypes of a Mexican.

Get the Scarface mug.Contrary to a post here, Aldi is a grocery store based in Germany with stores all over Europe and growing in America. The store is to the likes of Trader Joes where everything is cheap and generic brand. The food is good, just like the food you expect to get at the big boys like Safeway or Giant but made by a unknown brand with the same ingredients as the "name" brand.
Aldi has their stores around the same size as a Trader Joes and usually has around 6 to 8 aisles. In those aisles you find the food that you want, usually stacked up in boxes, not shelves to save money. Once the boxes are freed up they set them aside for those that don't want to pay for the reusable bags they have. Aldi is also known to have small gadgets and electronics for the home.
A typical Aldi trip consists of going to the store, getting a quarter out of your pocket and inserting it in the cart (you get the quarter back later. They do this so you won't leave the cart in the parking lot. Very efficient way of avoiding cart dings on your car), going inside the store, grabbing your generic groceries at a much decent price than the overpriced name brands at the "Supermarket", going home with some extra money in your pocket. Maybe making a trip to the other supermarket since Aldi doesn't stock up on certain things the supermarket does like junk food.

I went to Aldi today. Yes I did have to loan a quarter to the store to use their carts, but at least I don't worry about the car getting beat up by the carts. The food was very cheap and even though it's not a name brand tastes the same way as the name brand. I also got this new laptop that they randomly had there. I thought it was a good deal so I said why not? Next week I'll go back to buy food and see what other gizmo they have. I'm still enjoying the blender I got there last month.

Get the Aldi mug.A brand made for the Best Buy chain. They are what most call the "in house" brand or the "knockoff" brand. Nobody truly knows who makes the products. Their products have old parts from numerous brands which are assembled in an undisclosed location in Asia. Some are said to be made by LG, others by Funai or Orion.
The brand is sub-par and for the most part has "gets the job done" products. It is just a cheap alternative to the major brands, but sometimes they are priced at the same price as the mainstream wanted item.
Getting a universal remote to work with their products is a major hassle as well. Almost none of them have the code.
They are a sister brand to Dynex, another Best Buy brand with questionable origins.

I went to Best Buy and I saw a 52 inch Insignia LCD screen. It was pretty good, but its shotty history is very concerning. Not only that, but Geek Squad is a bitch to deal with. It's like dealing with that stubborn person in your family that only wants their way or the high way.
I rather spend the money on a nice Samsung or LG.
