What is gringo definition en ingles?

The term "gringo" is a slang term used in Spanish-speaking countries to refer to a non-Spanish speaking foreigner, typically a white person from the United States. The origin of the term is uncertain, but it is commonly believed that it comes from the Mexican-American War in the 19th century, when American soldiers would often sing the song "Green Grow the Lilacs" in Spanish, but were unable to pronounce the words properly, leading Mexican soldiers to mock them by calling them "gringos." Over time, the term has become more general and is now used to refer to any foreigner. The term can be considered derogatory or offensive by some, while others use it in a light-hearted or ironic manner.
