Cholo Word Of The Day - Naco

UPDATED

I found the comments on the word Naco very interesting. I've posted a couple of them here in case you don't regularly check out the comments section.

From Elena:

In México the word 'Naco' is a racisit term for an 'indio', thus not just 'indio' but almost like saying 'nigger'.

From Oso:

I've never heard that before. Are you sure? I use "naco" all the time. Mostly just joking around with my friends. But when I say it I'm picturing a skinny kid with black jeans and an AC/DC shirt on, not un Indio.

NaCo is also a clothing brand from Guadalajara. I'm proudly wearing by NaCo hoodie as I type this.

Oso: I think Elena may be right, even though I've never heard it used like that.

I can't help but wonder if this is in any way related to Elena's conversation about Gringo a while back.

Another Update:

From Elena:

I remember going to see "Y Tu mama tambien" with some Chilango friends of mine. They translated the word "naco" to "White-trash" my friend brought up and noted that it was actually the opposite of White trash. "Opposite" was the word he used. Opposite because "naco" is someone who is very indeginous and indegionus as if it is a bad thing.
My definition could be different in that my Spanish is Southern Mexican Spanish, not cholo spanish, not Spanglish, and not big-city-pesudo-northern-Mexcio Guadalajara Spanish.

From Cyndi:

you know, i think i see it as a lot more negative than oso does. i know people throw it around lightheartedly now, but it just has such negative class and racial connotations. have you ever heard "chúntaro" or "chunti"? i see it kinda like that...

Naco, is not a cholo word, but often used by fresas to describe cholos. I think the word has taken on different meanings during the years. Naco was used to refer to poor people. Now it's often used to refer to tacky folks or losers (defined by the person using the word, claro).

I thought of the word again, because a friend of mine was making fun of somebody and said, they're not even naco, they're a naco wannabe. I thought that was hillarious.

Word:
Naco

Meaning According To DT:
tacky, loser, wannabe, outsider

Used in a sentence:
"Viste a el Toni? Se ve bien naco usando esos baggy pants y gold chain."

"Sabes que, porque no le dices eso a su cara, aver que pasa."

Translation according to DT:
"Did you see Antone? He looks really tacky wearing those baggy jeans and gold chain."

"You know what, why don't you tell him that to his face, and see what happens."
