Note 10 — Chapter VII · THE LLANOS OF COLOMBIA
Reading edition
The term Jurungo has much the same signification among the Llaneros as has “tenderfoot” in Australia and the western part of the United States. Guate, another word of similar import, frequently heard in the Llanos, is employed to designate a Serrano—a highlander or mountaineer—while jurungo refers more specifically to a stranger from Europe or the United States. Like the word tenderfoot, these two epithets are used in a certain depreciative sense. ↑
