wed., 13 sept., 2023: cuba meets yuma, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & entire & total point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

CUBAN SPANISH:  ¡Hola Yuma!     

       

)  “Howdy, Yuma!...  

    NOTE:  Yuma” is a term used by Cubans for Yanquis. Apparently they really loved 3:10 to Yuma, the 1957 Western starring Glenn Ford & Van Heflin, & directed by Delmer Davis.  This term can be affectionate, if the Yanqui in question is cool & copaceptic, but can be insulting if the Yanqui is an arsehole. Most Yanks who go to Cuba aren’t arseholes. But there are a few.
