It’s like when I lived in Miami and everyone called me “gringo” or “flaco.” When I asked them to stop they would say it was endearing. But imagine if I called them “removed” or “fatty” what their reaction would be.
-
I mean it's very common for fat men to be nicknamed "gordo" ie fatty. Of course it's ignorant but definitely not meant offensively.
-
Fatty? Is that a slur for something? Or was everybody there just overweight?
-
Translating is always perilous. My dad said never do it. But I wouldn't translate Gordo to fatty. It's not old slang, it's not out of date, and it's not culturally offensive. It's more like calling your son ''bread ball'' or ''Lil biscuit'' or something you'd lovingly call a chubby baby.

Flaco means skinny

Ohhhhhh.... That took me a second to understand.
