Spic Definition

You ask me what is a spic? A –“Spic”-- according to the dictionary is a contemptuous term for a Spanish-speaking person, from Central or South America or the Caribbean. However, is this the true definition people think of when they hear that word? I do not think that is the definition most people think of when they hear the word spic.

Later on in that same day they were talking about it again, and I asked them what it meant. They told me what they meant, and I did not think that was offensive. Just this year during basketball season my friend probably called me a spic more than 100 times but in a friendly way. Another time I remember him calling me a spic is on the ride to play Anamosa. I was just sitting in my seat and I moved my leg and kicked him on accident. He said “Watch it spic.” I said, “Shut up nigga.” This was all said in a playful manner. As one can, see I do not get offended when someone calls me a spic. All of my friends call me a spic in a playful manner. There are many other Mexicans that might get offended if they got call a spic but, I just do not see why they would get mad.
