Not around here. Best not to call anyone other than another mexican a vato. ;-) - ChamacoMalo, SEP 28, 2009
That's fine...I don't typically going around calling anyone "vato," so I think that I will be alright on that account :) - Izanoni1, SEP 28, 2009

You can relax, okay? We're talking about MEXICAN slang this time.
