Screenshot of a Tumblr post by indigosfindings:

imagine if someone just like started addressing you as Dipshit, like youre just talking about your day & they say "no way Dipshit, that's crazy." and then maybe you say to them that you would prefer not to be addressed as Dipshit & their response is "well in my major metropolitan area 'Dipshit' is not considered an insult. im not saying i think youre stupid when i call you Dipshit, i call my mom dipshit all the time" so you say Thats cool but please dont call Me that. and then they just repeat that it's something they say daily, they call all of their best friends & lovers dipshits & are called dipshit in return. "my grandma calls me dipshit at the dinner table, it doesnt mean anything." so you say Yes i understand that your friends & grandma arent bothered by being called Dipshit but i am, & i would prefer if you didnt address me as that. and they say "it's literally not possible for me to stop calling you dipshit, and it's not reasonable for you to ask me to, dipshit." anyway this post is about nothing in particular

I assume you mean Gordo and not gringo. Gringo for anyone interested literally means Greek, and in Spanish it is slang for anyone who doesn't speak Spanish. It's really not an insult, at least in US Spanish there we offensive terms for white people, so. There's that. But I know people really freak out about ''Gordo'' and it really isn't like calling fatty, it's a lot more like calling someone Bubba. Bubba isn't a slur, it's southern slang meaning bubble, and it's for people who have roundness. They don't even have to be tubby. We called my youngest brother Gordo and Goose. Idk why Goose. But Gordo was because he was a fat baby. He's in his 30s now, tall, pretty muscular, in the military. Still call him Gordo. No one calls me flaco anymore. They don't call me Gordo either. I think I'm too fat... they call me papi, because I look a lot like my grandfather now and that's what we called him.
