Colombian nickname?

Question

hey does colombia have a nickname.. for example you call puerto ricans boriquas or Gutalmalens chapines

Answer 1

The nickname thing goes by what town you're from. For example somone from Medellin is a "paisa",from Bogota,a "rulo." I'm not sure of the other ones because all my friends are from Medellin.

Answer 2

We call them colochos.

Answer 3

IN other countries, people call colombian as "cafeteros" because they, the colombians, have a very important coffee industry.



In football competitios, a team from colombia is called, usually, the "cafetero team".

Naturally, inside Colombia they are diferent regional nicknames, but noone of them is "national" as "Cafeteros".

Answer 4

It doesn't have a generic nickname like that. (As far as I know)Just call them "Colombianos".

Although there do exist some nicknames for specific places, like the following:

Medellin (And surrounding areas)= Paisas

Bogota= Cachacos or Rolos

The Coast line= Costeños

I hope this helps answer your question.

Answer 5

the first answer is right. (what can be a better source for this  than a colombian person?)
