…not a military thing, so I thought it best to start a new one.
So I’ve started seeing some shirts around here.
“Here” would be the Rio Grande Valley, deep south Texas, more than a third of Mexico is north of us. It has been, and will alway will be, profoundly Hispanic in population, culture, and bias.
Anyways, the shirt: "Pink Cheese, Green Goes"
Say it out loud, and it’s “Pinches Gringos” That’s “Fucking White Motherfuckers”, nearly.
Now. I am not a light-skinned guy. I cross over well enough to live, work, and marry down here without getting into it… But what would happen if I wore a t-shirt that said "FUCKING MEXICAN WETBACK DOUCHEBAGS " ?
Yeah, I’d die. Pinche mojado needledick flyfucker at the pulga…
Considering those of us who’ve posted so far are awfully close to Mexico, I wouldn’t pay it too much mind. We’re probably the demographic that would be around enough Spanish speakers to understand it.
I love that commercial! I do it all the time to my husband and we laugh like loons. But I don’t think you’re missing anything there. It’s just great comedic timing and accent usage. I can swear in spanish pretty well. You can’t live down here and not pick that sort of thing up over the course of thirty some years.
I get the impression that “pinches” in this case is a Spanish word, not the English third-person present tense of “pinch.” I don’t know specifically what it means, but I gather it’s a derogatory adjective; the OP used the singular form of it in the final line of his post, which I also didn’t understand.
Well, I’m not terribly close to Mexico (other side of the gulf), but we have a large Mexican population in Florida (along with Cuban and Puerto Rican), and I studied Spanish in school. I was actually complimenting **Darth Nader’s ** multilingual swears in the last line of the OP, though.
