In this regard, a gringo is simply someone who speaks an unintelligible language. There are many folk etymologies for this word involving American soldiers during the Mexican-American war. Some say it comes from “Green Grow” in either of the songs “Green Grow the Lilacs” or “O Green Grow the Rushes” sung by US troops. Some also put forth that it was from “Green go!” spoken by natives trying to send US troops home ("green"  referring to the soldiers' uniform colors). To the contrary, the US troops actually used blue uniforms at the time, and there is much evidence the term was used before this war.

 * After the Mexican-American War and related tensions between the United States and Mexico, this term began to imply United States origin. However, in most of Latin America, it still simply means “foreigner”; it has been applied for example to Italians living in Argentina, or even Brazilians in Spanish speaking countries, or vice versa.
