grin·go n. pl., grin·gos. Offensive. Slang.

Californios would never call us Gringos, but us Gringos call each other that all the time...Lighten up, big city folks don't know it all...

Californios are the decendents of the old Mission folk...Get ahold of Harry W. Crosby's book Antigua California if you really want to learn more about a special place....

.....Westy.....

I was not always a big city folk I come from an area in my youth that was farms, fields, outhouses and dirt roads!
