Did you know?

  • While zorro means 'fox', the feminine form zorra is widely used in Spanish as a highly offensive slur.
  • The Spanish translation ¡Zorro, no te lo lleves! literally means 'Fox, do not take it away from me!' rather than 'no swiping'.
  • The term zorro may be a loanword from the Middle French word sor, which described a 'yellowish-brown' or 'reddish-brown' color.
