In Spanish this is slang, it is a word to describe someone of lighter complexion. Usually used to describe a white man or a man who appears white.

In Mexican Culture folks will often be referred to by their nick name more than their normal name, even when it might not apply to them any more. Some of these terms may seem offensive but they are not considered as offensive in their culture.

For example a skinny woman named Maria might more often be referred to as "La Flaca" (the Skinny one)

Other common nick names include, "EL Gordo" (the Fat one), "Pelon" (Baldy) "El Negro" (the Dark one), or "El Enano" (the Midget, or Shorty)
