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

NAHUATL:   Gachupin!   (sing.)  /  Gachupines!   (pl.) 0 §

QUECHUA:  pukakunka    §§

    

 §)  gachupin / gachupines  —

nahuatl [aztec]  sobriquet for their conquistador “saviors”,  very popular in the 19th. c. & early 20th. c., during wars of independence & revolutions, & still occasionally used against snotty Spaniards who claim to have no Indio in their lineage — indeed the gachupin is so beloved by the nahuatl that they frequently add a jocose “death to” or a just-joshing “to hell with” or an ironic “fucking” to make the terms of their affection perfectly clear — any brandished guns or machetes are also intended ironically, & any injury or death of a gachupin are an unfortunate accident or mishap, & “no,  señor policia, we didn’t heeeere or see a thing...”   Etym.,  Nahuatl,  cactli  =  any sandal,  shoe or footwear ;  Span.,  chapín  =  conquistadores' high heel boots

 §§)  lit., “redneck” —  Inca term for the Castilian Spaniards, dating fr. late 17th. & 18th. c. insurgencies.

 

NOTE:  As for the orig. New England Thanksgiving feast being a coming together & celebration of mutual aid between the Pequot Nation’s peoples & the Pilgrims (many of whose leaders were military veterans of Europe’s 30 yrs wars, & other adventures), the first Thanksgiving feast in 1637 was hosted by Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts to honor a militia who had just slaughtered approximately 700 Pequot Nation’s men, women & children. (Others were enslaved, some taken to Europe for the entertainment fo various royal courts.) We have been unable to find any terms of endearment for these genocidal motherless fucks, these “Puritans”—& welcome any lexicographic or linguistic references. Maybe it was because the Pequot were exterminated?
