Gitano calo word that means Shoes. First used in 16th century Spain then again in the Americas by Tirilones in El Paso Tejas (Chuco Town) around the early 1900's. The word spread Westward making it all the way to Los Angeles and then the rest of California around the late 1930's
"Put on your drapes ese vato, make them calcos shine"
From Spanish: Calcomania, meaning sticker. Calco Mania is the disappointment that comes from finding out something is not a Sticker.
It was a grim moment of Calco-Mania when I realized the grinning pirate skull was not going to peel off.
