PAJERO

I didn't see the column but if he meant wankers then yes. As far as I'm aware in Spanish or Portugese (I think) it is a derogatory slang word.

This subject has been beaten to death.

Mitsubishi came up with the name, "Pajero" from the scientific name of the Pampas (Mountain) Cat, "Felis pajeros".

Apparently "pajero" looks like the Spanish word for 'w*nker', but as it's pronounced in non-Spanish countries (pah-jeer-oh) it sounds different to the Spanish (pah-hair-oh). The word comes from 'paja', or straw.

In Nicaragua a pajero is a plumber.

In the Canary Islands a pajero is omeone selling or transporting straw.

So obviously does that mean a Pajero owner is w*nker, plumber and carrys straw, I don't think so, it's just a another name for a vehicle...
