Post subject:  Tica -- it doesn't mean whore

I see in the trip reports and girls review sections more and more guys using "Tica" and "Chica" interchangeably.
"Tica" does not mean prostitute. A Tica is a Costa Rican female.
Some Ticas get pretty indignant when they realize gringos are using that word to mean a hooker.
After all, some of the girls are Ticas, but many are Nicas, Colombianas, Dominicanas, et al, and I've even encountered a few Gringas working at the HDR and SL.

I once watched a bar fight in a pickup bar west of el centro. Can't remember the name of it, but it's a place mostly frequented by Ticos. The fight was between a Tico and gringo over the gringo's mis-use of Tica.
My two Colones worth....

It doesn't help that this site's name is "CostaRicaTicas", that's where the the clueless newbies are getting this idea. :D

True on the site name:

Pretty easy though:

Tica - Costa Rica Woman
Chica - Latina female/girl typically
Puta - Prostitute, should not use

I've noticed it too, and have posted as such - really makes you look clueless; some who have used the term claim to "know Spanish" - somehow, I doubt it - :roll:

And as I've pointed out more than once, you really piss off people down there using the terms interchangably. Another example of preventable stupidity :)

I've seen a lot more dis respect shown to guys than I have seen shown to the girls.

I think the formula is easier if one considers that being called a Tica DOES NOT make a Costa Rican woman a hooker, yet a hooker in Costa Rica can be (and usually is) a Tica.

It makes sense to me... but I seldom worry about such little issues.

Don't overcomplicate things by thinking about formulas and disrespect and such, folks.

I have found this to be true in all walks of life - If you act like an asshole to people, you can expect to be treated like an asshole in return.

A little respect and consideration works wonders. Believe it or not, even when mongering.
