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

    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.)

                                  :) "taco bell" is a bad mexican fast food chain in the states. A few years ago they had an ad campaign using a Chihuahua saying "Yo quiero taco bell."

                                    Yeah, I see now ... What was weird to me is that "taco" is a spanish word whilst "bell" is english. "Taco" has different meanings. For instance, in Spain means "bad word" but it can also mean a little piece of wood or the food you eat at mexican restaurants.
