Are you offended by the term achichincle?

[Xipe Totec]

I first encountered this word in a conversation with a cousin of mine as he related to me how he used to be his father's achichincle. This of course, was in the context of an armed standoff between himself and the chief of police, in a brothel somewhere in Veracruz Mexico, while his dad (my uncle) and a few of his close friends held the police chief's deputies at gunpoint outside the brothel. The police chief, still bleeding from the nose was considering his options...

But that's not important right now, and besides, my cousin is now working as a fishing boat captain somewhere off the coast of Oregon, without papers, of course, literally, a mojado.

Anyway, my point is, are you offended by the term achichincle?

1. It would depend on the context. If someone was trying to offend me,

and I was in the mood to be offended, it wouldn't really matter what noises they made. But just hearing your word wouldn't bother me.

Of course, I am offended when someone taunts me with an entertaining brothel story and then reneges...

4. There's not much to tell, really

My uncle died quietly in his sleep, decades later.

The gunshot wound jumping out of that bedroom window was never proved to be linked to his demise.

And the police chief made the right call; he and my cousin walked out of the brothel as best friends.

It's a good thing they were both packing heat. Normally, people just carry machetes, and a machete fight is much harder to stop...
