That one stems from Christian being from the Chaco province in Argentina, I believe he's also known by another nickname in Argentina though.
Yesterday Pablo Ramirez explained that they call Enrique Esqueda "Paleta" because he looks like Marco Antonio Regil. So I guess they call Regil "Paleta" (?)
lol! What's the reasoning behind "Chore". During Chivas games, they explain why they call Edgar Mejia, Chore. They say..."pues, mirenlo". I still don't get it!
Por orejon. Como cuando le echan carrilla a un wey y le dicen "Pinche orejon". If you say it fast it sounds like pinchorejon. Well that's my theory.
I saw an interview where Esqueda said that Temoc gave him the nickname "Paleta". He said that when he first started praticing with the first team he used to have a fro, and so cuah said he looked like a paleta
I found the video, it was actually Cuah's brother who gave him the nickname They ask him about it at 1:53 [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STraV4EC95Y"]YouTube - Enrique Esqueda[/ame]
neta que si tenia el pelo largo. si no fuera chinito su pelo de seguro que le llegaba a los hombros. me acorde de otras: "Cheroke" Sergio Perez "Pescadito" Carlos Ruiz "Chelis" Jose Luis Sanchez Sola "Chucho" Jesus Ramirez, Christian Benitez "Piti" Hector Altamirano "Cabezon" Juan Antonio Luna (head size? doubt it) "Guti" Jorge Ivan Estrada "Cholo" Mauro Camoranesi "Ojitos" Enrique Meza (probably because of his eyes but I dunno) "Gansito" Aaron Padilla "Chango" Alfredo Moreno "Chacho" Eduardo Coudet "Chamagol" Sebastian Gonzales "Vasco" Javier Aguirre
and since his name is Cesar that makes perfect sence I think Guado said and I've heard before that its because he was playing with Marcelo 'el chelo' Delgado and since they were both Delgado's he became el chelito even though his name isn't Marcelo.
el vasco has basque parents. pescadito i heard because of the way he eludes defenders - he's "slippery" for chamagol, su tio era el chamaco valdes camoranesi because he looks indigenous, or he is.
bumping this thread cause I wonder how many more yall know chema cardenas chucho benitez and ramirez, for that matter. there are lots of "chuchos" hmmm brody jorge campos
Chema - jose maria Chucho - I'll let someone else explain that one Brody - slang term from Acapulco for bro, pal, bud, etc. Campos is from Acapulco.
Dario Veron- hechicero My understanding is that el perro bermudez starting calling him that because his last name is Veron, so to follow in la brujita veron's footsteps, he called him hechicero Always wondered where the "toshiro" came from for Israel Lopez
