Guiri (pronounced [ˈɡiɾi]) is a colloquial Spanish word often used in Spain to refer to uncouth foreign tourists, usually those with Northern European looks. However, it can also be applied to people from other foreign countries, particularly to white individuals. Although somewhat pejorative, it is not considered a slur by Spanish-speakers if used as a light-hearted tease.[1][2]
