Can someone Please Explain this "Mami and Papi" Language???


Recommended Posts

All "mami" means is "mommy" or "mother" in Spanish. A former (cute-ass) co-worker of mine used to call me "papi" all the time..... she said it in this great sultry voice, and I personally loved it! smile.gif

But I can also see how you could interpret it as a cat-call (no pun intended, but if the shoe fits..... biggrin.gif), sorta like guys calling "hey hot momma!" after a girl walks down the street past them.

Hey misskitte! Haha I know that very well because I live in Brooklyn where is so many Spanish people. So they call me "mami" all the time when I walk down the street because I think I am the only one different blond girl there in that area biggrin.gif

So don't worry.. I know it bothered me from the start but that I used to it. MAMI it means something like Honey or Sweethart in Spanish. So they just want to let ya know that UR nice and cute girl ! smile.gif "Papi" is the same for guys smile.gif What I hear very often as well is "OHH God Bless You, Mami " biggrin.gif

I dont know. Maybe it means sweetie or hot honey or whatever but I hate it. I was outside my job yesterday and some kid yells to me...Hey Mami you got an extra cigg?....Needless to say I ignored him. Not because I think Im better than him but personally I think its rude. Im a lady...not no friggen "mami" or "boo". Ughhhh it drives me crazy.

I have no problem at all with Spanish people. I have many friends who are of latin decent. I even have many former boyfriends and girlfriends who were of Spanish Origin.

I work in a company where all this happens though. Im constantly called Mami and I hate it. They dont respect me here. I ask them to not call me that and they continue to do so. I think anyone would be a little annoyed too if this was happening to them.

Its nothing against the Spanish. I love many of them but some just kill me. Its goes for every nationality with me. I have dislikes about each nationality including my own. No mean to pick on just one, Im just trying to understand it all.

And BTW, my Aunt has been working on my familys history and we just found out that my family has Spanish background from Spain. So no disrespect.

First time a girl did that to me I almost broke my neck---- caught me so off guard.

(Yeah the ladies do it too)

They only think they can get away with it because you're a young, attractive woman and they don't take you seriously. My friend, who's 22, is an x-ray tech and was recently told to wear her long blonde hair up because no one takes her seriously. What is that about?
