Selma, I was a child in Goa in the 1920s and 1930s when the phrase was being
used, to denote someone who did not quite belong, an outcast, but it had
nothing to do with caste. Hope this helps.
Warmest regards,Victor

Dear members,
I have for many years been trying to find out the exact meaning of this slur
that was used for Goans by the Portuguese 'caneco.' About a decade ago we had
an interesting discussion on Goanet about this but nothing conclusive was
arrived at. The word itself means mug, but how and why was it used as a slur.
Any imput appreciated.Thank you,selma
