Anyone knows what the word "potoño" means?

Question

Hola, Alguien me pregunto que significaba la palabra "potoño". Pensamos que tiene puede ser como se le llama a una persona procediente de un pais o region. Como por ejemplo: Un puertorriqueño se le llama "Boricua"... etc.

Alguien ha escuchado esta palabra y que significa?

Gracias!

Answer 1

Provide some context please.

I think it is a typo. P and O being right beside each other on the keyboard, I think this is a double strike and the true word is "otoño" or "Fall" like the season.

No we know what "otoño" means. The word "potoño" was used to refer to someone from a region. I just never heard of this word so I'm trying to figure out in what country this word is used and refers to who/what. - emilyher618, Apr 18, 2016

Well then provide the context in which you read it. Otherwise all we can do is guess. - gringojrf, Apr 18, 2016

A little coarse or a peasant.

This is only a guess. Not sure of it? - 00cc0117, Apr 18, 2016

This could be a slang term, search all slang references. :) - 00cc0117, Apr 18, 2016

It could just be a nickname.

Here in La Paz people who have lived here all of their lives are called "paceños". And people in Mexico City are called "chilangos". So it is possibly something like this referring to a specific place.
