Yeah but Nore said it, and Flash thought Nore was dumb, so he
transcribed it like this :)
I knew it was "ese".
Vadik ~ yeah
Actually, S.A. is not technically wrong. The Mexican slang word "ese"
originates from 1970's application forms in California that listed "S.A."
(Spanish American) as an option for ethnicity.

Everyone knows Im the token Latin rapper of the group, so I had to
throw in my two cents. Interesting concept, I hadnt thought of the word
being derived from that, so I did some research for that. I'm a education
major and minorin in Mexican American studies, so its kinda up my alley.
After alot of looking, I only came up with this, which unfortunately did
not point to the ethnic choice thing you mentioned, although it is still
very possible. Best explanation I came with was 'ese vato' being shortened
to 'ese', but etymology of the word was actually quite difficult to trace.
If you can tell me where you heard that or found that explanation, I'd
like to know, just to research, if anything for my benefit.
from Random house-
"Ese -- (noun) -- circa 1960 in Schwendinger & Schwendinger
'Adolescent Subcultures and Delinquency,' 75: An Ese is not a guy looking
for trouble or trying to pick a fight. An Ese is a cool guy.
1985 in Schwendinger & Schwendinger 'Adol. Sub.' 61: Ese--
derived from 'Ese Vato' -- is the classic name for Mexican-American
streetcorner youth in southern California.
Now, I know that sometimes slang is not picked up immediately into
the lexicon of America, but if you need more info, which you dont, cus Im
the one continuing this disscussion, heres some more findings.
