Meaning of cuyabro




furoya

cuyabro
  15

It is a way of calling the Armenian ("gentilicio de Armenia, departamento del Quindío, Colombia"). In principle it was a derogatory put by its neighbors of Calarcá, and the origin is not only the proliferation of the cuyabra plant in the area but its characteristic of creeping, since they accused the Armenians of having crawled before the powerful company La Burila and obtain their support to win them a litigation in the late nineteenth century. Already at the beginning of the XXI century 'cuyabro' ceased to be offensive and the inhabitants of Armenia use it with pride.
