Word of The Day: AseresteemCreated with Sketch.

in latinos •  6 years ago 

The word ASERE is a greeting used by Cubans to greet other Cubans. It comes from the slaves held on La Isla Bella and meant “good night” in the Efik language. After the population integrated it was used to greet the Africans. Now it just means “dude” or “my nigga” and it’s not racist anymore. Or maybe it is. 🤐

Example:

“Asere! ¿Que bola?”

What Mexicans hear:

“:(;)14,,$2afne! What ball?”

Respect us or we will give you smallpox and sell your sister to Mexicans.
