Drum Roll: A different meaning in the Barrio, Peseta is a person who is stuck up, obnoxious, person. It can be used in other instances to sarcastically talk about something, usually haughtily and with a sneer and a nod in the direction and stressing the 'A' at the end.
Some of you have seen moi on good days or bad. Most of you have seen the gregarious moi. I really don't do this much anymore, but I am quite the Peseta.
Eva called me Peseta when we were out shopping and I picked up a can of sensitive skin shaving cream. Que Peseta!
Another time we were at lunch and After the Loving played on the juke. I started to sing to her and I touched her tenderly. Que Peseta.
I don't know where it came from, but Debra's mother-in-law, Betty, called me Peseta. Everybody who knows me know that I do not celebrate anything, except Eva's Birthday. So she would always send me a Peseta Plateful of food at holidays. She was another fabulous person in my life.
There are more examples. Almost everybody calls me Peseta, but lovingly.
PESETA OUT!!!
