Tejas (TAY-hoss) is from an old Indian word, meaning "friendly", which purportedly described the demeanor of the Tribe which is our largest
sensible state's namesake.

also:

gabacho (gah-BAH-cho) is another weerd (Border
Meskin) wurd from Texas. Although there is no precise translation, it is somewhat akin to-"fag cowpoke"... (huh?)

Bet ya just had to know that.

Remember the Alamo, and the Maine.
