It is a Provençal word, and it originally meant someone who speaks badly. Nowadays it refers to the people above the Pyrenees (France), and it is also a derrogatory word for Frenchman, or a Spanish spoken with lots of French words in it. These, at least, are the definitions in my dictionaries, and the ones people in Spain understand. Apparently, it is used in other places like Mexico to refer to other foreigners or outsiders who speak other languages, as Wikipedia suggest.
If we are talking about "Gabacho", this is.
