Gringo
The name used for any American, Canadian, or very pale foreigner with a name so strange they can barely pronounce it themselves. Dominicans do not like to struggle with foreign names, so they just say, Hey America, or, Hey Gringo in the floral shirt, come over here. While often mistaken for an insult, it is usually used as a term of endearment, though some people still use it with bad intentions (in Dominican culture, using appearance or origin as a nickname is common and not always negative).
Dominican: What is your name? USA: My name is Mike Wright. Dominican: Say what? Forget it, just tell me what is up Gringo, what is good.
