Uses of "chilango"

Question

I know Chilango is someone from Mexico City, but I have also heard it means "sous-chef." Is there any truth behind this?

Answer 1

There are many theories on the origin of the word "chilango". One of them is that it derives from the Nahuatl word Ixachitl?n, that actually refers to the whole of the American continent. The word "shilango" has also been documented to have been used in the Veracruz area to mean people from central Mexico, and coming from the Maya "xilaan" meaning curly or frizzy haired. Yet another theory is that it comes from the Nahuatl "chilan-co", meaning where the red ones are, and referring to the skin, reddened by the cold, and used to refer to Aztecs by the Nahua people in the Gulf of Mexico[1]

This is from the Wikipedia entry for chilango. No mention of sous-chef!
