According to Webster's New World Dictionary (The dictionary?  Gee, who would
ever think of looking there?):

	[MexSp. < Sp., meaning gibberish, altered < Griego, meaning Greek,
	< Latin Graecus, meaning Greek]

	    in Latin America, a foreigner, esp. American or Englishman:
	    hostile and contemptuous term

It's all greek/american/spanish/cobol to me.
