Damn Chankies!

I learned a new way to insult americans...Chankies. It´s Yankies, but with the Argentinian ¨che¨coloquial speak (yes, for some reason they add the ¨che¨ sound to lots of words. La Jolla is pronounced La Jocha (hocha) and parilla is pronounced paricha. Don´t ask me why). And Chankies is a not a nice name. It´s in fact a derogatory term for all those rude and loud-mouthed americans who don´t realize just how loud and disrespectful they are to the rest of the world. American tourists, to me, are on par with french tourists as the most loud, obnoxious, and rude species on the planet. And no, this was not a term directed at ME...it was another american chicita who was overly boisterous at the bus stop when we were heading home. Funny thing was, she was on the exact same bus when I was heading out many hours previously. Quirky.
