Why do Mexicans call Americans "gringos"?
Some say the during the Mexican-American war at the end of the nineteenth century, locals heard the invaders singing "Green Grow the Lilacs" and simply picked up the "gringo" from "green grow." Many people suggested that because the American uniforms were green, the expression came from a rallying cry: "Green, go!" But, in fact, gringo is a Spanish word on its own and is a slang insult for anyone who is fair-skinned and looks foreign.
