Pardon Moi French

Actually, "no problemo" is American (with
a capital A) slang for "it's nothing at all, my pleasure". It has no
roots in either Spanish (with a capital S) or Italian (with a capital
I), though it produces rhizomes once in a while.

Yep: I've use "no problemo" in my Brooklyn days quite alot. It's like
okey-dokey, which is totally American English, but clearly with a relative in
Japanese.

Same as the Jewish: Oy, yay, yay, yai.

In Japanese it is: Yah, yai, yai, yai, yai.

Go figure, Johnny

Johnny,

I'll be happy to Pardonez Votre Francais, but doesn't
No Problemo come across as derogatory gringo arrogance
in the ears of Spanish speakers?
Yo creo que si!

Su Amigo,

Marco

Simply, no. Americans have their own rhymes and culturalisms. If there are
some offended Spanish speakers who disagree, I've yet to hear about it. Is
it any worse than calling yourself "Marco"? anyway, back to
topic....puh-sleeze. :) j
