Joseph,
You are so funny! (Humorous, I mean). However, I don't think
that cabezones, narizones, etc applies only to Tapatios. My mother, who
was from New Mexico called me pendeja (stupid), cabezona (stubborn), etc. even
though I have very tiny features (many people think I am Asian, and I look like
my father who was tiny also). My husband, on the other hand, is a typical
Tapatio (tall, skinny---6 feet and 165 pounds, Roman nosed, bald, white,
freckled, with a receded chin, and small ears that stick out). So he is a
narizon, orejon, flaco, and his mother used to call him "demonio". I asked
him if he had ever heard the term "hijo de V-chi" and he said no. His
mother did call him tarugo, which he says means "knucklehead". My father
used to tell me "callese el osico" even though he knew only animals have osicos,
we have bocas.
What are some examples of the peculiarities of speech in Jalisco?

If you would like to see some of the beautiful eyes in Jalisco, where
people are complimented for having "Ojos Tapatios", go to gdlclub.com
go the section titled : Editoriales, Especiales and and move your
pointer down to "Ojos Tapatios," click there and you will see beautiful
"Ojos Tapatios".
Cool. I looked and saw that some of
the men were shown (truthfully the women were my choice for the most
beautiful). . .so do men have Ojos Tapatios tambien?
well I'm not so
sure I have them but I am pretty sure I have Dientes

Colotlán (Northern Jalisco). Colotlán can be
found in Jalisco's northerly "Three-Fingers" boundary area with Zacatecas.
This heavily wooded section of the Sierra Madre Occidental remained beyond
Spanish control until after the end of the Chichimeca War. It is believed that
Indians of Cazcan and Tepecanos origin lived in this area. However, this zone
became "a refuge for numerous groups fleeing from the Spaniards." Tepehuanes
Indians - close relatives to the Tepecanos - are believed to have migrated
here following their rebellion in Durango in 1617-1618.---taken from John
Schmal's Jalisco Indigenous in 16th Century article
Also there is
something peculiar or different about the way people from Jalisco speak
Spanish. This author seemed to think it was worth writing a dissertation about
the subject:

And
finally i can remember people frequently referring to me as a "Cabezon." Well
most times it was my Mom. So there must be something special about my head
from Jalisco that is different too! She even mentioned my "Osicote" a few
times while saying a few things about being a "Tarugo" and that she was tired
of my "pendejadas". . .I remember one time she must have been confused
thinking I was Chinese because she called me a "hijo del V-chi."
How
about folks from Zacatecas or Aguascalientes. . .do you all have special or
unusual Eyes, Teeth, Tongues or Heads?
Anyone ever call you an Orejon
or Narizon or Flaco or Peludo or Barbado or
???
