I'm surprised I could not find the word "osico" in my dictionary. But as I recall, it is not really bad in itself. Correct me if I am wrong, but it means "snout" or the mouth of an animal. What makes it "bad" is who says it, to whom, why and how. When the mother said it, it just surprised the students because they didn't expect it of her. It's not something a nice person would say to others. As a teacher, I have heard it on the playground and they were fighting words. Mary

When my dad was teaching my mother Spanish, he was teaching her bad words. She was taking citizenship class and the teacher asked my mother to take care of the class while she stepped out. As soon as the teacher left, the class was buzzing. My mother, very authoritatively, told the class to "Callense el osico," thinking she was telling them to be quiet. She said you could hear a pin drop, and someone told her what
she had really said. Marge:)

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 Cazacanes/Tepecanos/Tepehuanes: http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~grobbins/huh.html
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
???
