Does eating beans every day for three weeks in Brazil make me a beaner? :)
No.

Thank God. *phew*

We wouldn't want you, ya dirty Uke.

And no one I know calls Brazilians "beaners"

Well they sure as fuck ate a lot of beans.  :yuk:
different kind of beans. brazillians really like turtle beans for some reason. we can call you turtle if you like? :P

*googles turtle beans*

Nope.  Think they were pinto beans.

I don't think I've ever seen an Argentine eat beans.

"esse" means "that" in Portuguese, but used mainly when the object isn't identified. ie give me "that thing". So he extrapolated. He's wrong, but i can see his reasoning.

Is he? I thought it was a good guess. From "¡Ese Hilario!" to "¡Ese!" is a very short hop.

In any case, I reiterate my utmost contempt for anything Mexican.  :yuk:

What is the significance of saying "ese Hilario" instead of just "Hilario?"

A slight put down like Martim said?

Iormlund

No, it's a manner of greeting someone fairly common over here (not exactly proper Spanish though).

I wasn't arguing his theory of origin, I have no idea what the origin of ese is, just the implied negative connotation.
