The Portuguese used this word, often as a racial slur, for Catholic Goans but opinions were divided as to its actual meaning. Here are some of the more interesting viewpoints shared by Goanet members. Gabriel de Figueiredo:http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/179875.html Bernado Colaco:http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/179941.html Monica Reis of the Indo-Portuguese Art Research Project:http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/179934.html Con Menezes:http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/180027.html Although a consensus was not reached on its actual meaning, there is a strong possibility that it is a corruption of the word “canarims,” the old Portuguese word for people of the Konkan coast. The fact that in Africa, only Catholic Goans were called “canecos” and not the Africans, leads credence to this theory.
