Gorro

Can't Post | Private Reply

Gorro is a baseball type cap in most of the Spanish speaking world, but in Jalisco, I think they, at times, use something like "cacucha", which if misspelled or mis-pronounced can take on a whole new meaning, as slang in Jalisco for part of human anatomy.
Can anyone shed light on the local word for cap?

Thanks,

Hello:

But be careful with garrón. Garrón is not a large cap. Garrón is a "freeloader", at least here in Zacatecas.

gorras negras--bad guys or gorras prietas (black caps)
gorras blancas--good guys (white caps)

Adiós. jerezano.
