I just saw the movie Jumping Jack Flash again and didn't realize this before, but there is a scene where Ms Goldberd wears a jump suit and the word is printed across her shirt...I wonder if she knew this at the time she made the movie. It is a very ugly word, one that does not seem to fit in the movie, or anywhere else.

From náhuatl "mayatl" meaning "beetle". Specifically, 1. a bug which pushes a ball of dung to lay an egg into it. From here, 2. "the active partner in a couple of homosexual men". Also, 3. "afroamerican person", only because of the black color of the insect, without any racist connotation.

No, they TELL you it means homosexual because they don't want you to know what it REALLY means. It means n*gger.

It refers to an African American and it is in a bad way.
I am from mexico and even I know not to use that word.
I have never heard it used in any other way.

Uh, depending on who is saying it, some Hispanics use the word to refer to an African American male, while others use it to refer to a homosexual.
