but far more is it used as a term of teasing endearment, a sign that you're trusted to at least some degree

I didn't know that. It sure has changed since I lived in Mexico. I'm glad to hear it. I will be spending some time, perhaps a long time, in Tucson in the not too distant future so I appreciate the info on the gringo thing.

I'm very fond of using epithets as terms of endearment for some reason. And I've gotten in trouble for it more than once.

how about let's liberate Cuba from under the grinding heel of Dan Burton and his alter ego Fidel?

I was surprised at your earlier post about being disappointed that the Elian thread ended. I would have continued had I known anyone wanted to. Although some of the participants were pretty sick of each other by the end.
