@@robiking011 Do you speak spanish? Well in my country we say "Se la tiene montada" but yeah that doesn't mean that bullying doesn't exist (I'm not trying to say that you think that it doesn't exist just to confirm jsjsjs) It's kinda "new" but not that much tho
the real reason the nicknames are not problematic is because 1) they are used for specific persons not communities 2) they are used for people you personally know and have affection for (ya know like knicknames are supposed to work) 3)you used them to their face not behind their back if the person does not know you are calling them that, and 4) more importantly, if the person has a problem with the nickname or objets you and everyone stops calling then that... if you dont stop after they say no, then that is bullying. (and that is how consent works)
That's maybe in the perfect world. If you get a nickname , you simply don't say stop (even if don't like it). If you knew that I'd you said stop, you could get more nicknames and people would make fun of you saying ¡Aaaaay! ¡Qué delicado! And also make fun of you about that behind your back. You just have to build a tough skin.
@@javymcy thats why i said if the person has a problem with the nickname, my dude, the situation you are describing IS problematic and IS bulliying, nonverbal signals of upset are a indicators that the person has a problem with it.
@@johannabermudez7370 I'm not saying that's right or wrong. I'm not defending or criticizing any point. I'm just expressing what I've seen and experienced. I was always called gordo (and I has never been obese, just chubby) by family members and strangers on the streets. Gordito comete algo! Is pretty common to hear for free when you're enjoying street food. It always annoyed me , but could I do? Cry in my room ? Fight back? It was useless. That's why I learnt to build a thick skin y no pararle bolas because I understood that it was not against mepersonally, it was the common bullying attitude towards everyone because we're fat, skinny, gay, black, chino, blonde , short , tall . By the way, one of my father nicknames was mentioned in the video , Punto y coma, another one was Pata de campana because the way he used to walk.
It's not offensive because we Latinos have a different culture. We have a different concept of what's affectionate or acceptable or rude. These type of nicknames like ''el flaco'' or ''el disco rayado'' or ''el batman'' or ''la gordis'' or ''el negro'' est est are not meant to be offensive in Latin American context. Now if you look at these nicknames through an Anglo American and Canadian context, of course they'll seem offensive and self deprecating.
@@robiking011 I always liked "Chino" when they thought someone looked Asian. I'm very fat and it took me a few months to get used to "gorda" but it's just not used as an insult there like it is in the west. Then I started calling myself that with friends because it was fun and funny.
I wonder how they will perceive "El negro" or "La negra". My dad calls my mother "Negra" in the way "honey" is used, and we call our uncle "negro" just because he is darker than most of the family. Our family is a mix of light/dark skin and no one takes offense, we even have a ginger we call "El mono".
It’s difficult trying to explain these nicknames to a non spanish speaker because to my american friends they always seem to take it as a negative name or racist and I have to explain that it is in no way a means to be offensive!
One of my favorite cousins is also "El Negro," and sometimes if my mom and I are sharing stories about him or his kids my mom is like "el Neg.... dijo, Alex...."
I had two during my time near spain ( French border). I was El Pigmeo ( I am 6''1 1/2 ) , this one stuck and i have a second one that also follows me everywhere its Algodon. . I am an albino. People particularly liked El Pigmeo because i was always taller than 90% of people in spain , most spanish people are just a bit taller than chinese people.
@@PHlophe Yes, we looove to do that. Called people something completely different from their apparience. I had a friend and we called him "el canijo" it's mean something like being super skinny but he is fatty... Or called someone "el fiestas" which means "the party guy" but he is a little bit boring... Personaly I like these things because it means that this person is close to you and you are close to this person...
@@areidda i feel like we really need a manual of spanish nicknames its a whole culture and subculture onto itself. there are so many layers to this. El fiestas is such a cool nickname ja ja ja ja
@@PHlophe Sometimes we have to ask the reason for the nicknames as well... Hahahha. I know some of those nicknames in other countries could be "racist" but we didn't have the past history with racism and that's why it's not huge here. I'd never ever called some of those things to a black/american, for example... We do that only with people who don't feel attacked by those nicknames... Don't know if I'm expressing myself in the right way...
@Alexis Castillo uno de mis amigos empezamos a llamarlo Samuel a pesar de que se llama Claudio porque un profe le dijo "tienes cara de Samuel o Raúl, debe ser ese tu nombre" el primer día de clase. A otro le llamamos de tres mil variantes de su nombre pero rara vez el real porque en su anterior clase le cambiaban el nombre ya que no lograban pronunciar su nombre correctamente (es Joan, pero sus compañeros eran la mayoría andaluces y sonaba muy raro, así que le llamaban John, Johnny, Juan, etc). No te sientas solo.
That's what happened to Edison Cavani. He called a friend "negrito" (kind of "Blacky" in english) and was banned for 3 games. People don't understand it's a friendly nickname
To be fair, most of the easily offended morons who screech about this kind of stuff are claiming they're being killed here in the US. With words. I wish I was joking.
@@deken9415 no it's not. Negro in spanish is not at all like in english. Negro is literally just the spanish word for the color black and is not used offensively
También chanchito (cerdito) y "chinito". No sé qué más jajaja pero suena muy ofensivo desde afuera. Aún así, no lo es porque es específico basado en características puntuales de gente que queremos y conocemos bien, no es un nickname peyorativo contra una comunidad o minoría. Es más, puedes usar "chanchito" para tu pareja o bien para la gorda de la escuela y la significancia es completamente diferente. Todo está en el tono de voz, el contexto y la confianza. Además, si todos tus amigos te dicen "el pollo" pero viene alguien que no conoces y lo dice es re incómodo y fuera de toda "construcción social" sobre las "buenas costumbres" latinoamericanas. Uno responde: "Oye, yo no te he dado la confianza para que me digas así"
@@revolcona eso me recuerda que mi novio y yo nos decimos "cerdo, cerdi, cerdito" 😂 y no es para nada ofensivo. Entre mi hermana, mi mamá y yo nos decimos "perris" y también no lo decimos en plan de ofender y para nosotros es super normal.
@@Gr95dc Eso es por la connotación que le dan los gringos a las palabras. A ellos les encanta insultar e humillar, por eso encuentran que negro, chino, chanchito es incorrecto y ofensivo cuando en realidad para nosotros la connotación es cariñosa porque no hay nada más tierno que un cerdito chiquitito y rosadito jajaja. A ellos no se les pasa por la cabeza que alguien pueda convivir en paz con otras minorías sin la necesidad de insultarlas, y es más, las palabras que ellos entienden como "malas" en Latinoamérica/España se usa para cosas buenas (ahora no niego que igual hay racismo y xenofobia arraigada pero los sobrenombres acá son individuales no colectivos, sean cariñosos o también de bullying son escogidos con pinzas y quizás por eso sean tan creativos, como "el estoques")
In my group we called him "El mago" because he was "el magordito" (el más gordito). Not to confuse him with another guy who we also called "el mago", but in his case it was bc he made money dissapear from the classroom XD
This is so true! My dad was called "Elena" = "el enano" = "the dwarf" becuase he was short. He's almost 60, and still doesnt know some of his childhood friends' real names.

Bro my brother had a friend they called El Taza ( the teapot). One day, the world renowned El Taza shows up for Friday dinner, introduces himself to my parents as El Taza, and not Eric his given name. We soon learned that he had lost one of his ears in a car crash. I'm not kidding, Hispanic culture do be like that. My middle school nick name was Little Cheese because my older brother in high school was Cheese. My brother had a horrible acne condition and was full of acne scars (mostly holes).
Mine are not that terrible, but my friends call me "ardilla" because my last name is Ardila and when they met my younger sister they called her "ardillita", she didn't like that at first.
@@esperanzaarce9563 Haha, it's fine, I got over it fine and even got a cow plushie keychain and jokingly carried cookies made with milk. And regarding the last name you mention, I have a friend with that last name, and we joke about it in a very Latino way. We also call each other "cousin". Cabeza de Vaca is actually the original form of my last name, apparently my ancestors thought it was too long. It was originally granted by the Spanish crown to a farmer that had lots of cows because he and his people helped them in a very crucial moment during the Reconquista Wars in the Iberian Peninsula.

In Colombia “mi negro” or “negra” is used as a term of endearment. Something like “babe” or “honey”. This is probably shocking to Americans as this term is derogatory and offensive in the USA.
The terms comes from slavery in Latin America as a way to belittle darker-skinned people though, so its origins aren’t exactly endearing. I recommend this article which explains how and why negrito/negrita started being used in Latin America, from Latino professors expert on the subject www.sandiegouniontribune.com/columnists/story/2020-11-01/latina-professors-discuss-use-of-negrito-negrita-in-latin-culture-after-j-lo-controversy Just because a word is culturally accepted doesn’t mean it erases its originally racist origins.
Victoria Ch. the article @Gaëlle S linked is a discussion with black Latinos who challenge the use of the term. I agree that it’s not the place of European Americans or Europeans to tell Latin Americans what is acceptable in their own culture. But surely if some black Latinos find the term demeaning and offensive, it’s worth considering that perspective?
@@gaelles3715 racism comes from anglesaxon culture mainly, they still think that being black is being defective, thats why they take insult from black but not from white .

But most of comes from love Hispanics have tough love they’ve become that way and it’s something that you just ignore since it isn’t that serious. She obviously didn’t agree but idk this came from a girl I met at a party who was friends with my cousin who was deeply insecure about herself and had issues although I told her she was really pretty and shouldn’t lower her self esteem because she called herself fat and she was 90 pounds and I weigh way much than her. If your Hispanic and don’t have thick skin it’s a tough, this coming from the nice black sheep in the family 😬✨

@@akiras.3595 I'm not denying the indigenous massacres. I'm just saying the history is a little different. In the US, to this day, people of color are just more likely to be killed by the POLICE. Anyway, the actual starting point of these contingencies is that the Spanish and Portuguese actually had many children with their slaves and the natives (mostly duebto rape, I'm aware), and Queen Isabel actually wanted to educate the "lesser races" (in her eyes). The English didn't; they came to America to settle. There's just many little details that made the history different, which led to the US and Latin America being different when it comes to nicknames.
@@mariosblago94 They do too in latinamerican. What? Racism is a U.S thing only now? But yes, history and development of the languages is the main reason of why "offensive" nicknames are more accepted in latinamerica.

I'm from Mexico and sadly some idiots over here are starting to become like that.

Chinotown: He looks Chinese, but he's 100% latino (even has curly hair) Lincoln: His name is Abraham lmao Careloco: He has big eyes and gives him a look of being on cocaine or something, but that's just his eyes, he doesn't do drugs. Guagua: Honestly, I have no fricking clue the origin of his nickname... but he introduces himself as such, so... Bebe: He drinks 24/7 and he's always sober... Ozu: He's black, singer and has clear eyes, comes from Ozuna the singer.

Jajaja y esos son decentes, están "el prieto", "el buey", "el puerco", "el chorrillo", "el toquín", "el venada", "el mamaleche", "el todas da", "la mamá dora", "la cindi", "la dos direcciones", "el tengo manita" jajajaja Dios...a mí me dicen "la llanta". 😂😂😂
Haha i never noticed this but its true that in Latinamerican cukture "Its not offensive because we love them" lol. My family in Mexico call me "Gringo" because im from the US lol. Normally, I'd be offended by this but they call me it out of love 😆
😂😂😂 I almost sent this video to my boyfriend who is european, but i changed my mind 🤔 because he will not believe that we only call him blonde "catire" 😂😂😂

As an hispanic i can say that the nicknames are like that, my bestfriend has big lips so everyone calls her duck and like i'm little my male friends usually call me goblin or ant and my tall friends are call trees and other nickname is catfish face.
In my family we have a friend who we call “QUECHECHO” because just one time over 20 years ago instead of saying “Que es eso?” “What is that” his accent made him sound like he said ‘QUE CHE CHO?” I don’t even know his real name.
My mom's is called "La Morena" by everyone including my grandma, and the way I onow someone doesn't know her personally is when they refer to her with her actual name 😅
Nicknames in our group of friends: Granola: he used to have facial acne La muerte: he was skinny Elmar: short for "el marijuano" for always looking like he was high.
The funniest nickname I’ve heard someone be called is “El estoques”... because when he was born and his mom saw him she asked “Y esto que es...?”

*Spanish nicknames: bullying the ones we love*
edit: don’t take the bullying part seriously, it’s just a joke.
It's not really bullying. In fact the word ''Bullying'' didn't even exist in Spanish. It was introduced only recently.
@@robiking011 Do you speak spanish? Well in my country we say "Se la tiene montada" but yeah that doesn't mean that bullying doesn't exist (I'm not trying to say that you think that it doesn't exist just to confirm jsjsjs) It's kinda "new" but not that much tho
Its friendly teasing

Spanish nicknames: What didn´t kill you, it makes you stronger... and a bit resentful.
Jajaja
What didn't kill you, you kill it
What didn't kill you makes you salty
Americans: Nooooo you are supposed to get offended at such disrespectful nicknames!!!!
Latino: Trae las chelas, gordito.
JAJAJAJAJ
Bájale 3 perrito y trae el hielo xD
Haha nicknames go brrrr
Gordito todavía es un apodo cariñoso, si estás entre cuates le dice "caite por las chelas marrano"
"Trae las chelas gordo cerote" but it's with love
the real reason the nicknames are not problematic is because 1) they are used for specific persons not communities 2) they are used for people you personally know and have affection for (ya know like knicknames are supposed to work) 3)you used them to their face not behind their back if the person does not know you are calling them that, and 4) more importantly, if the person has a problem with the nickname or objets you and everyone stops calling then that... if you dont stop after they say no, then that is bullying. (and that is how consent works)
Yes
That's maybe in the perfect world. If you get a nickname , you simply don't say stop (even if don't like it). If you knew that I'd you said stop, you could get more nicknames and people would make fun of you saying ¡Aaaaay! ¡Qué delicado! And also make fun of you about that behind your back.
You just have to build a tough skin.
@@javymcy thats why i said if the person has a problem with the nickname, my dude, the situation you are describing IS problematic and IS bulliying, nonverbal signals of upset are a indicators that the person has a problem with it.
@@johannabermudez7370 I'm not saying that's right or wrong. I'm not defending or criticizing any point. I'm just expressing what I've seen and experienced. I was always called gordo (and I has never been obese, just chubby) by family members and strangers on the streets. Gordito comete algo! Is pretty common to hear for free when you're enjoying street food. It always annoyed me , but could I do? Cry in my room ? Fight back? It was useless. That's why I learnt to build a thick skin y no pararle bolas because I understood that it was not against mepersonally, it was the common bullying attitude towards everyone because we're fat, skinny, gay, black, chino, blonde , short , tall .
By the way, one of my father nicknames was mentioned in the video , Punto y coma, another one was Pata de campana because the way he used to walk.
Except in USA.
It's not offensive, because we love them :D
The most true line in the video, in terms of this in Latin culture.
It's not offensive because we Latinos have a different culture. We have a different concept of what's affectionate or acceptable or rude. These type of nicknames like ''el flaco'' or ''el disco rayado'' or ''el batman'' or ''la gordis'' or ''el negro'' est est are not meant to be offensive in Latin American context. Now if you look at these nicknames through an Anglo American and Canadian context, of course they'll seem offensive and self deprecating.
@@robiking011 I always liked "Chino" when they thought someone looked Asian. I'm very fat and it took me a few months to get used to "gorda" but it's just not used as an insult there like it is in the west. Then I started calling myself that with friends because it was fun and funny.
pretty much that's how it works
It's not offensive because usually both parties agree to the nickname, it becomes offensive (and aggressive) when the nicknamed one doesn't like it
I wonder how they will perceive "El negro" or "La negra". My dad calls my mother "Negra" in the way "honey" is used, and we call our uncle "negro" just because he is darker than most of the family. Our family is a mix of light/dark skin and no one takes offense, we even have a ginger we call "El mono".
same here, everyone calls my aunt "negrita" because of the same reason and it's like.. even weird to call her her actual name
It’s difficult trying to explain these nicknames to a non spanish speaker because to my american friends they always seem to take it as a negative name or racist and I have to explain that it is in no way a means to be offensive!
One of my favorite cousins is also "El Negro," and sometimes if my mom and I are sharing stories about him or his kids my mom is like "el Neg.... dijo, Alex...."
One of my high school teachers was an intern at a DC firm in the 90s, and got in trouble when her boss overheard calling her cousin "negrita".
@@Nadia1989 lol, wow.
In Spain if you didnt have a friend called "El Chino" you probably had no friends at all
El chino, el pelos, el gordo y el negro. The whole real gang in Spain. Hahahhaha.
I had two during my time near spain ( French border). I was El Pigmeo ( I am 6''1 1/2 ) , this one stuck and i have a second one that also follows me everywhere its Algodon. . I am an albino. People particularly liked El Pigmeo because i was always taller than 90% of people in spain , most spanish people are just a bit taller than chinese people.
@@PHlophe Yes, we looove to do that. Called people something completely different from their apparience. I had a friend and we called him "el canijo" it's mean something like being super skinny but he is fatty... Or called someone "el fiestas" which means "the party guy" but he is a little bit boring... Personaly I like these things because it means that this person is close to you and you are close to this person...
@@areidda i feel like we really need a manual of spanish nicknames its a whole culture and subculture onto itself. there are so many layers to this. El fiestas is such a cool nickname ja ja ja ja
@@PHlophe Sometimes we have to ask the reason for the nicknames as well... Hahahha. I know some of those nicknames in other countries could be "racist" but we didn't have the past history with racism and that's why it's not huge here. I'd never ever called some of those things to a black/american, for example... We do that only with people who don't feel attacked by those nicknames... Don't know if I'm expressing myself in the right way...
My friend used to called another classmate "Cindy" Cause she was "Sin dientes Lmao that's another level of bullying
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA
Classic lol
That is love in Spain.

También chanchito (cerdito) y "chinito". No sé qué más jajaja pero suena muy ofensivo desde afuera. Aún así, no lo es porque es específico basado en características puntuales de gente que queremos y conocemos bien, no es un nickname peyorativo contra una comunidad o minoría. Es más, puedes usar "chanchito" para tu pareja o bien para la gorda de la escuela y la significancia es completamente diferente. Todo está en el tono de voz, el contexto y la confianza.
Además, si todos tus amigos te dicen "el pollo" pero viene alguien que no conoces y lo dice es re incómodo y fuera de toda "construcción social" sobre las "buenas costumbres" latinoamericanas. Uno responde: "Oye, yo no te he dado la confianza para que me digas así"
@@revolcona eso me recuerda que mi novio y yo nos decimos "cerdo, cerdi, cerdito" 😂 y no es para nada ofensivo. Entre mi hermana, mi mamá y yo nos decimos "perris" y también no lo decimos en plan de ofender y para nosotros es super normal.
@@Gr95dc Eso es por la connotación que le dan los gringos a las palabras. A ellos les encanta insultar e humillar, por eso encuentran que negro, chino, chanchito es incorrecto y ofensivo cuando en realidad para nosotros la connotación es cariñosa porque no hay nada más tierno que un cerdito chiquitito y rosadito jajaja. A ellos no se les pasa por la cabeza que alguien pueda convivir en paz con otras minorías sin la necesidad de insultarlas, y es más, las palabras que ellos entienden como "malas" en Latinoamérica/España se usa para cosas buenas (ahora no niego que igual hay racismo y xenofobia arraigada pero los sobrenombres acá son individuales no colectivos, sean cariñosos o también de bullying son escogidos con pinzas y quizás por eso sean tan creativos, como "el estoques")

In Colombia “mi negro” or “negra” is used as a term of endearment. Something like “babe” or “honey”. This is probably shocking to Americans as this term is derogatory and offensive in the USA.
Si. En muchos países es así. Acá en Argentina también se usa decir negro, negra, negri
The terms comes from slavery in Latin America as a way to belittle darker-skinned people though, so its origins aren’t exactly endearing.
I recommend this article which explains how and why negrito/negrita started being used in Latin America, from Latino professors expert on the subject www.sandiegouniontribune.com/columnists/story/2020-11-01/latina-professors-discuss-use-of-negrito-negrita-in-latin-culture-after-j-lo-controversy
Just because a word is culturally accepted doesn’t mean it erases its originally racist origins.
Victoria Ch. the article @Gaëlle S linked is a discussion with black Latinos who challenge the use of the term.
I agree that it’s not the place of European Americans or Europeans to tell Latin Americans what is acceptable in their own culture. But surely if some black Latinos find the term demeaning and offensive, it’s worth considering that perspective?

But most of comes from love Hispanics have tough love they’ve become that way and it’s something that you just ignore since it isn’t that serious. She obviously didn’t agree but idk this came from a girl I met at a party who was friends with my cousin who was deeply insecure about herself and had issues although I told her she was really pretty and shouldn’t lower her self esteem because she called herself fat and she was 90 pounds and I weigh way much than her.

@@CapyMartinBara En Argentina se usa muchisimo los apodos basados en apariencia física, tanto que hay gente que se acostumbra a decirselo a gente que ni si quiera tiene esa cualidad. A mi varias veces me decian "che negro" siendo muy blanco jajajajajaj
@@CapyMartinBara I never really got to know where "boludo" came from or why we Brazilians and Argentinians call each other that. I was always thinking "why the fuck do Argentinians get mad when we call them 'boludo'? Is it an insult to say someone has big balls or something? I dont fucking get it"
Because of me, my cousin Joselyn got her nickname "la choche" because when I was like 3 years old I couldn't pronounce Joselyn, it sounded like "Chochelyn" so it stuck... her nickname is my fault lol
Oh this is so prevalent, but I think it's cute, because it's understood it's from a child's inability to speak. My nn used by my dad is based on my name mispronounced.
Yeah, that happens. My mom and her sister got their nicknames from their younger brother 😂
It happed the same to me with my younger sister. She used to pronunce my name as "Yel".
My nickname is "Coco" because one of my cousins couldn't pronounce "Jorge" when we were babies. My own father doesn't even remember my name sometimes
Al chile me acabo de dar cuenta que pude haber escrito todo en español. Ni hay gringos en este comentario jaja
That's literally how in Rome we give surnames AHAHAH like the surname of a friend of my father was "er saponetta" (saponetta means soap) because, playing as a goalkeeper, the ball always slipped from his hands. It's so fun to see this kind of humor is shared by other cultures!

The best nickname I've heard was given to a dude who got run over by a bus, his friends call him "el tope" (the speed bump)
I cried laughing the first time I heard it!
A friend from school got the nickname "Amarillo" which means yellow in spanish, because he got hepatitis and his skin got yellow... so now he is "Amarillo" to everyone, including the teachers...
Uff sobretodo con el apodo "negro(a)" acá lo decimos a todos, imposible de explicar la normalidad de hacerlo a los gringos.
Jajaja me han dicho que es comun en otras paises, donde vives?
@@ReignMaker26 acá en Uruguay decimos negro/a a todo el mundo
Ellos tambien lo usan, pero solo entre negros con negros o blancos con blancos. De blanco a negro es problematico, de negro a blanco es un honor.
@@malcomchase9777 es una muestra de errores en las culturas, en mi país que eso no sea considerado ofensivo (hasta que se copió recientemente) es de las pocas cosas positivas, llamar negro a alguien es simplemente descriptivo, no ofensivo y la gran mayoría de la gente lo entiende así.
@@CarlosE213 Como siempre, es intención. Negro se usa como insulto tambien en español. Fingir que no pasa no ayuda a nadie. En los dos idiomas se usa entre amigos o para ser una persona de mierda. Nadie copió nada.
My family calls me _oso_ (bear) because my name begins with _Os-_ and because of all the depression naps I take.
Chico there are no bears in Latin america. This is bizaro. They could tell you'd be gordo.
@@PHlophe y el oso de anteojos??
@@PHlophe There are the black bears in parts of Mexico and Andean bears in South America. Even if there weren't any bears in Latin America, people would still know what a bear is, much like how people know what an elephant, giraffe, zebra, and kangaroo is.
They call me _oso_ because I'm always in my room (cave) taking naps (hibernating).
Me llaman _oso_ porque siempre ando en mi cuarto (cueva) tomándome unas siestas (hibernando).
Oso is actually a cool nickname though!
Alt title: Latin americans teaching americans the first ammendment
We had a friend that had a huge afro and we used to call him “el cabeza de nube”. Translated would be something like clouds head
nube could have easily been misinterpreted by a non native. On another note, you have a proper assimilated name. Christopher Alan , that's the most gringo of all names, ever.
@@PHlophe hahaha yeah Thats what I always have been told. But nope, total mexican here. XD
Acá le decimos "el modo avión"
A school friend was called "Virulana", a brand of steel whool, for the same reason.
Americans are always so concerned about being politically correct whereas Latinos just don't care. When you don't care, it makes speech and conversation so much more fun and easy. When you give someone a nickname, it's like it's easier to talk to them casually.
well, yeah, but it's complicated. Latin America doesn't have the same (modern) history of killing people just for being black... it's a little different. "Political correctness" evolved out of necessity.
@@mariosblago94 I'm sorry, what? Latinamerican also had massacres of indigenous people, it was actually worse than in the U.S. Slavery was also very much a thing; again, even more so, because most if not all of Latin America's economies depended on agriculture.
I think is not really "political correctness", it's more the fact that, historically, the nicknames weren't meant to be offensive, while in English their sole purpose was to be offensive
@@akiras.3595 I'm not denying the indigenous massacres. I'm just saying the history is a little different. In the US, to this day, people of color are just more likely to be killed by the POLICE.
Anyway, the actual starting point of these contingencies is that the Spanish and Portuguese actually had many children with their slaves and the natives (mostly duebto rape, I'm aware), and Queen Isabel actually wanted to educate the "lesser races" (in her eyes). The English didn't; they came to America to settle.
There's just many little details that made the history different, which led to the US and Latin America being different when it comes to nicknames.
@@mariosblago94 They do too in latinamerican. What? Racism is a U.S thing only now?
But yes, history and development of the languages is the main reason of why "offensive" nicknames are more accepted in latinamerica.
Oye nicknames are great and all pero I didn’t know my dad’s best friend name until last week. I thought his name was Taluca and called him that all my life. Come to find out his name is Manuel. I don’t even know what Taluca means now
It's probably Toluca, a city in State of Mexico.
Same thing happened to me when I was little, I had always call my uncle's best friend "El Tronqui" I didn't even know his name was actually Antonio. i don't know where he got his nickname...
This happened to me with an aunt. Everyone always called her Toya, so I thought that was her name until I was like 17 and I had to introduce her to a German girl, and she asked me "is that her real name?" I kinda looked around and said "yes" but then my uncle corrected me "No, her name is Paz". Of course I looked like a fool 😂 But hey, how would I know? 🤷🏻♀️
Similar thing happened to me!! 😂 my best friend’s brother was always known to me as Tito. I never knew his name was Miguel until he sent me a friend request on social media.
Same thing with close friends I know. There’s Tanque, Cookie, Pato. It do be like that sometimes. 👁👄👁
Talupca is a Tapioca
It's cause we don't take ourselves too seriously
Or when your friend has green eyes they be calling him "el gato"
My friend’s uncle was called “shakiro” meaning Shakira because he was siego y sordo mudo like her song.
Jajajajajaja que rata 🤣🤣🤣
Jeez
Me acordé de una vez que vi a un gringo comparar apodos latinos de cariño como "mi negro" o "mi negrita" con la n word. Lol.
Mejor no hablar porque según parece es peor visto el llamar negro a un negro que liarse a tiros con él una multaturba de tipejos disfrazados de nazarenos. Mejor no removerlo porque el racismo anglosajón es muy antiguo
Preguntale a Edinson Cavani....
I love how "los flacos" are never flacos, can't wait to be call "El gordo" on the next year 🤞

1:41 What? But my Mami told me that I was "un Castigo de Dios" because she loved me so much.
Lol, f, jajajabajsja
"I don't give a damm God sent me to piss the world off.. " Slim Shady se sentiría halagado con tal frase 😂
Y eso que no estaba invitado "el negro" a la fiesta... le habría estallado el cerebro al tipo! Hahaha
We had a guy in our town that we all called "Skinny", but he was really fat, and we're all Midwestern, English speakers. There was also a guy in the next town over that we called Shakey, but he really did shake a lot. I forget what disease he had, but anyway, that's how he introduced himself - "Hey, I'm Shakey!".
I also call my son, "Squirrel", because when he was little, he was afraid of squirrels, and if we were at the park playing, and he didn't want to leave, or if we were outside and we needed him to come over to us, or inside - We'd just yell, "Squirrel!!", and he'd come flying toward us. 😂 We've been awful parents.
Come on its funny as fuck thats what life is about
En Ecuador somos así también. A una amiga bonita, pero muy pálida la llamamos Ángel de tumba...
haha xD
Que puto miedo JAJAJAJAJAJA
También puede ser fantasma, o muerta
Do more cinematic videos like this one. It's almost like a comedy scene. Pretty funny, I loved it. 🤣
what's your spanish sobriquet
Who else just loves Joanna ? Like they’d click STRAIGHT AWAY when they see her
I literally screamed "YES! SHE'S BACK!" because I hadnt seen one of her videos in a long time in my "feed/home".
As a Colombian, I always have to explain that my dad calls me "Negrito" and that it is not offensive to call your friends "Negro" jajajaja
Dude same, i always have this problem whith my family, they all call me "negrito" and sometimes i have to explain to others that they are not racist.
i remember i had a history teacher and everyone called her iron man because she had heart problems, she knew and was very chill about it, it made her laugh and everyone loved her sm!!
"It means we love you so much!"
Neta que si a veces nos pasamos con los apodos, but like, los queremos mucho!
I lost it at "punto y coma"
The oldest guy in the local market, who barely gets any “action” is called the “Cañon de museo” (museum cannon) cause he aint shooting no more, always crack me up.
Also, “el cara de noche” (the night face) bc he is dark skinned, or “la bisagra” (the hinge) cause she’s either lookin out the window or the door, which means she is nosy, likes to mind everyone business but her own.
I remember a guy that was called "Toddy" because he is black (Toddy is a brand of cocoa powder in Brasil), all his friends said that he was okay with it, but when my boyfriend asked him if he was, he said he didn't like it, I think here in Brasil people don't like their nicknames but often don't talk about it, specially nicks related to being black, it's actually sad.
Nick names can be funny but hurtful, you gotta know when and what is better to joke around with people
oras toddy é de longe o apelido mais café com leite que poderia receber .. já outros ..
Tinha um menino na minha sala no 3º ano que todo mundo chamava de feijão
Toddy is actually Venezuelan didnt know they sell it in Brazil hahaha and we call toddy as well to guys who are brown cause toddy is not actually that dark.
There are people who like em there are people who dont also our nickanames are meant to be for bullying to be funny for the person and their friends but if it bothers the person they could say it and people would stop.
this guy born without an ear, they call him teacup... we love him so much. (true story tho)
I had a classmate who introduce himself as “Chicken” because he look just like Chicken Little (before he got buff and laser eye surgery). Also a coworker that everyone called “Moreno” and I learn way later that it was not his last name, just a reference to his brown skin.
Elva you became his Chicka when he turned into a Hen
Oh, lighten up, it's not like they're calling him something REALLY bad like, say 'el republicano.'
My family calls me Pulga because I used to be tiny and hyperactive, but they also called me peluca because of my emo phase hair.
We call my brother Gordo and Paquetaxo
Un amigo le llamamos "washo hambriao "(starving orphan) porque depredó TODO lo que había en un cumpleaños cuando tenía como 4 años. Hasta asaltó la despensa después de comerse todo lo que había en la mesa.
Lo amamos con la vida, pero siempre será el washo hambriao
Spanish nicknames are like sibling relationships 😂😂 pick on each other but love deep down
En la secundaria tuve un profe de química al que todos llamaban Spiderman, porque tuvo un accidente y le tuvieron que amputar dos dedos, y su mano literalmente se veía así: 🤟
Él OBVIAMENTE sabía del apodo y se lo tomaba a broma. Todos lo estimaban 💖
Mis primos son Negro y Gordo. Siempre tenemos que tener cuidado en publico de no usar uno de los apodos por si acaso. La otra vez estaba cantando La Negra Tiene Tumbao de la Reina Celia Cruz, y sentia que la gente me miraba
Lol
Mi tía la llamamos la negra también
Si es cierto, en la casa con toda confianza pero en la calle es otra cosa pero a veces se le olvida a uno🤭. Ahora imagínate escuchar la canción la rebelión de Joe Arroyo, donde dice no le pegue a la negra.

My Dad had a friend whose nickname was “Tacita” (little cup) because he only had one ear
🤣🤣🤣🤣

My siblings and I were just talking about this! I if people heard the nicknames our family and friends call us they would think we were in a toxic home BUT WE’RE NOT I SWEAR. For example I’m not black but since I’m wayy tanner then my siblings my nickname is “negrita” which means black or “black-y” then since my sister was a chubby baby her nick name is “Gordis” which means fatty and since my brother was born 5 months old and his body wasn’t fully developed until he was 1 years old his name is “cabezon” which mean big head. in Spanish they’re cute endearing names but I can see how my English speaking friends thought I would have a tough upbringing.
girl that's toxic, you are used to be abused. black-y is hella offensive. reminds me of indians calling theri sibling Kaali and Kaala which means the same thing. Y'all need therapy.
@@PHlophe ha k
I lost everything at "punto y coma" BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG
That’s why I like native Spanish speakers (Latinos). They don’t get offended by anything like most people in the USA do.
I'm from Mexico and sadly some idiots over here are starting to become like that. It's a part of our culture that I would really like gringos to experience: being able to take some words with the humor and love their meant instead of having a language full of restrictions and taboos.
Too bad most people don't even want to hear about that, they're always ready to fight you if you even dare to suggest you can call someone "El negro" without being rascist.
In this case is literally Latin cultures (Spain or Italy) Julius Caesar was know as "bald womaniser" Emperor Caligula it's a nickname (little sandals) or Nero "the black"
@Personal Jesus se me hace triste que tú y mucha gente tengan que remarcar lo obvio (no es ofensa). Claro que quienes defienden esta costumbre hablamos de los que se ponen con cariño.
Cuando son apodos por joder no es para nada la misma cosa, yo mismo sufrí de varios apodos por mi aspecto físico ... Y vaya que duelen.
Obviamente DEPENDE, pero se me hace triste tener que explicar algo tan básico para la gente con "thin skin" que ronda ahora en todos lados.
If we bully you it means we care for you and love you. That's what I always tell my boyfriend. If my dad bullies you it is because he feels comfortable with you and likes you. If he doesn't, he might not feel comfortable with you.
Exactly. If we do we actually care.
I'll list the nicknames of people I know and their explanation...
Snoopy: he's quiet, silent and approachs to you without even noticing him.
El Millo: he's an exconvicted fellon. Back in prison, there was a guy very similar in appearances, who always called himself a Millionare. When the real Millo died, cons started calling him like that after the original.
Pijamas: that's me, I'm lazy and I like comfy clothes, so I wear sweatpants/sweatshirts or straight pijamas.
Chinotown: He looks Chinese, but he's 100% latino (even has curly hair)
Lincoln: His name is Abraham lmao
Careloco: He has big eyes and gives him a look of being on cocaine or something, but that's just his eyes, he doesn't do drugs.
Guagua: Honestly, I have no fricking clue the origin of his nickname... but he introduces himself as such, so...
Bebe: He drinks 24/7 and he's always sober...
Ozu: He's black, singer and has clear eyes, comes from Ozuna the singer.
Conejo: That's a common nickname for old people who has some kind of "power" or they are OG's in a slum
I think I know a lot more, but these should be plenty
I don't know if you're chilean or from another country, but "guagua" means baby in the language of one of the native cultures from here
@@andinkify I'm from Venezuela and "guagua" here doesn't have a clear meaning, it can mean the bus, a baby, a thing o cualquier vaina, as we usually say lmao
@@vecrisv for a moment I thought you were Peruvian, because there it uses too nicks like Careloco(addicted look), Guagua/wawa(baby in native language), Bebe. Your friends has cool nicknames xD
Guagua its mean baby in chilean
I once saw somewhere that guagua meant "little creature" in some indigenous lenguages
i saw this video on Instagram like a month ago and I WILL STILL WATCH IT
Oh, God, this is giving me flashbacks for my mother's Puerto Rican side of the family. So many nicknames. And so many of them are just mean. And here I am like Matt, standing on the sidelines wondering, "Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyy?"
Lighten up gringuito.
Don't worry, they're not mean... "catire"
There's a saying that goes "Sin bullying no hay amor". Which means "without bullying there's no love".
"The zipper" because in a fight they cut his throat and now he has a big scar! JAJA
this is so true🤣
just to name a few of the "apodos" my friends and I have
"Panda" to big lazy guy of the group
"Gordito" to the one who's not overweight, but has the "beer belly"
"Puerco" to the one who cheated on his gf
"Caco" to the friend who listents regueton
"Baba santa" to me cause I always slept and drooled through religion class😅
Baba Santa? 😂 that's a good one. But what if you forget to brush your teeth and have bad breath, that baba is is not that santa.!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baba santa JAJAJAJ
Its just that if a english speaker say that, they say it with hate but we say it with love. Like u can call your boyfriend "mi negrito" and thats cool.
Sooo accurate. A uno de mis compas de la U le decimos "Cojo" o "Cojito" con muchisimo cariño. Y es porque cuando lo conocimos en primer semestre, llevaba muletas por un accidente que tuvo. Actualmente no lleva muletas pero sigue cojeando but we love him so much
Si, lo importante es que lo quieren ♥ xD
Jajaja y esos son decentes, están "el prieto", "el buey", "el puerco", "el chorrillo", "el toquín", "el venada", "el mamaleche", "el todas da", "la mamá dora", "la cindi", "la dos direcciones", "el tengo manita" jajajaja Dios...a mí me dicen "la llanta". 😂😂😂

As an hispanic i can say that the nicknames are like that, my bestfriend has big lips so everyone calls her duck and like i'm little my male friends usually call me goblin or ant and my tall friends are call trees and other nickname is catfish face.
In my family we have a friend who we call “QUECHECHO” because just one time over 20 years ago instead of saying “Que es eso?” “What is that” his accent made him sound like he said ‘QUE CHE CHO?” I don’t even know his real name.
My mom's is called "La Morena" by everyone including my grandma, and the way I onow someone doesn't know her personally is when they refer to her with her actual name 😅
