If meaning an object = "that thing over there"

If a person = "that guy", and indicating a slightly negative/negative opinion of the person.

Hmm. That doesn't seem in keeping with how it's used here. It's more like "buddy", and certainly isn't used negatively that I've seen.

In Latin it's the verb meaning eat.

It says "No. 1 en Espana". Though the back says "Importat de [Company Name], Bucuresti", so it's probably gypsyfied. And contains horse meat.  :hmm:

Well, may contain horse meat (which I don't mind). Supposedly it's made from pork. I guess I shouldn't visit the Jewish museum today.

""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.

Yeah but it's the motivation - to be seen as knowledgeable on subjects he clearly knows little about, that's the issue here. ;)

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?

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.
