So it is a negative qualificative meaning word. Surprised that doubts arouse about this word, when one considers that more than 60% of english word come from latin. May be anglosaxons are more latino than they realize !
Oh, this from an ascerbic,diffident,soul. May be that latinos are more simian than they want to admit.
