A combination, almost a pidgin language, that high school student s who take Spanish tend to speak instead of real Spanish. They think in English and speak mostly in Spanish except when they can't remember the word.
Also common in Miami and along the US - Mexican border.

(btw, it would be pidgin)

Language of choice of the gringo. Dual of pocho, which is basically Spanish with a lot of English words thrown in. Common in the northern regions of Mexico.
