Hey what about down in the South? How bad is it to use there, or do you hear it a lot? There's a large Hispanic population here. I was mushroom picking and the dudes laying the mulch were calling each other vato and the last time they got some good pussy.



1st time in my life hearing vato and Im 34. Learn something new everyday I guess

I grew up in New England and the term vato stuck around until 2010. It's always meant homeboy or friend or buddy. I lived in the Midwest for five years so I never heard it for awhile.

My buddy says if I refer to him as vato then that's straight but if an angry stranger came at him, it's a terrible word to use. Buuuttt.. if someone in a calm manner said hey whats up vato I'll smoke you out then it's generally legit depending upon the person. But then to never say it at all in poverty stricken high crime areas or you get your white ass shot.

Has the term "vato" always been the "n" word, or has it grown into a derogatory as "wetb***" or "b***er".? What about those of you with darker skin who look Mexican? I bet that's really taking the piss.

Can a Mexican use "vato" against another person and have it be derogatory?



I speak Spanish. "Vato" has somewhat of a gangster connotation. It has a bit of an aggressive overtone when used by someone who isn't familiar. Among friends it is not offensive at all. It's like when black people call each other the N word with an A at the end, except it's not racist even outside the proper context. I think maybe it was used more 20+ years ago, now it's largely been replaced by "güey" (pronunced "way") except in the gangster subculture.
