  • Anyone fancy helping with a name that tune challenge?

    The competition is called 'stripped back' and they started off by just playing the guitar bit of a song, they've since added drums and still nobody has gotten it.

    You'll find it at 8.07am on Morning Glory with Dee and Marty at the link below. Help! To me it sounds a little ZZ-Top, definitely some kind of classic rock I think....

    I know someone who keeps it up all year. Her house is just Halloween themed. See, you don't have to put it up unless you really wanna.

    Why do we refer to every country south of the US as Latin America despite no one speaks Latin?

    Do Americans use that term 'Latin America'. I don't think Europeans use it

    No one uses that phrase except PJ.
    I think it's because saying "South America and Mexico" was too much. :lol:

    Well I know Americans use the phrase 'Latinos', seemingly to refer to people of such nationalities, so there must be some origin to it. Seems fairly erroneous though it is acknowledged in OED

    OED: Latin America: those countries in Central and South America in which Spanish or Portuguese is the dominant language collectively

    Latin: Used as a designation for the European peoples which speak languages descended from Latin; often with implication of the erroneous notion that these peoples are of Roman descent. Also ellipt. for Latin American.

    Sorry hun I was just being funny. Yes, most of the people from Spanish speaking countries south of the US identify as Latinos. Tbh I've never heard of Brazilians identifying as Latino but I guess maybe. I was trying to avoid whitesplaining it though since there's plenty of people who know better than me lol.
    I don't think Americans use three phrase Latino. They call everyone Mexicans. :lol: (JOKE)

    Yeah, it's simply because the languages spoken are derived from Latin. The "romance languages". It's appropriate IMO.

    Ah but so are Italian and many other languages, are people of such nationalities also to be referred to as Latino? Latin America makes sense to a point but Latino is pushing it a bit :) Guess it doesn't really matter, just a curiosity

    Yeah, of course other languages are too. I don't think that makes any difference. There are different terms used to encapsulate all kinds of groups of people based on various factors. Nothing wrong with that.

    Um ok not sure what that's supposed to mean but someone from Colombia calling themselves Latino is the same thing as someone from Italy calling themselves European. Like no one calls themselves south American or north American or central American. You can be Colombian and Latino just like you can be Italian and European. That's all.
    I really do think PJ just used that phrase to avoid "....And Mexico"
