Matt:
I've looked through Spanish dictionaries and I can't find the meaning of the word "honcho." What is the origin of the term?
-- Jake, San Diego
Hey, gringo, not all words that end in o are Spanish. "Honcho" is Japanese -- a World War II borrow by American troops. A honcho is a Japanese military troop leader.
