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...
