UK travellers aren’t renowned for their usual decorum when flying to Spain, which is why there’s a secret word used by locals to describe Brits who possess these undesirable traits 🍺 As per The Sun, this word is 'guiri', which is pronounced ‘guee-ree’. In order to be considered a 'guiri', you don’t actually have to be from the UK - you just need to be a tourist who acts in a way in which a lot of Brits tend to while letting their hair down in a sunny country. For example, excessive drinking and participating in boozy behaviour are two ways to earn yourself the name, 'guiri'. A 'guiri' is supposedly derived from a term describing the Basque word of 'giri', which means ‘blonde’ or ‘fair-skinned’ and so it was originally used based on how tourists looked. Now, the meaning has changed and encompasses the actions and characteristics of some naughty visitors. Who is guilty of being a 'guiri'? 👇
