Discussion[edit]

This seems questionable, but I can't put my finger on why. Did this come from a list of Portuguese "false friends?" --Connel MacKenzie T C 05:00, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Highly dubious. I first remember it coming into U.S. usage as an imitation of Sandinista. --167.218.252.242 15:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)-ista[reply]
It would make more sense for this to come into English usage through Spanish, no? --Bequw¢τ 09:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
