    That's not french slang. Chihuahua refers to a particular race[^] of dog.

      I know that - but when I was in Paris over the weekend - a group of french lads (18-24) was using this word quite a lot in the conversation between themselves - or a phrase that sounded like Chihuahua

      Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
      But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

                    Calling the Chihuahua a race of dog is like calling me an assembly programmer because I spent 2 minutes once with it (with assembly, not a Chihuahua.)
