Pues algunas personas si lo dicen de manera muy despectiva, algunos que se fueron a vivir a paises desarrollados y se les olvidó de dónde vienen y creen que cogieron el cielo con las manos y se ponen a comparar y terminan diciéndole a Colombia "chibchombia". Pero como todo: la patada se recibe dependiendo del burro que la dé...

years ago a young friend of mine from Buga took great offence to the word chibchombia, it was like a personal put down almost calling her childish, interesting.

I think it's not a serious term or anything, but not really derogatory in itself.

Of course, if you add an "hijo de..." or something like it, that makes a huge difference.

It depends how is placed in the phrase.

Usually is not derogatory term. It was invented by Martin de Francisco he had a tv show called "el siguiente programa". I used to watch it when I was younger, to me that was the colombian version of southpark. Now he invented another term that can be derogatory, and that one is Iguazo.

This is the program I'm talking about:

Pues no se si sera ofensivo porque ningun extranjero ni mucho menos otro colombiano se ha referido a mi en esos terminos.
Personalmente me parecen palabras horribles que no tienen cabida en el idioma español.

Chibchombiano does not sound derogatory and cannot be derogatory to someone who is proud of being Colombian.
Let's divide the word into sections to learn more about it; who ever made up the word was thinking of the Chibcha indigenous people of the eastern cordillera of the Andes of Colombia. He replaced the "a" in Chibcha for "o" or Chibcho, then he added the word colombiano but with an slight modification or Chombiano, he negotiated the letters to come out with a pleasant phonetic or rhythmic word = Chibchombiano

Now, if you take the root word of COLOMBIA and add to it an adjective with belittling meaning or even add a word with lessening connotation, as the example we have seen on the Internet nowadays, now I call that word an insult to Colombia or Colombians.

The Chibchan languages (also Chíbchan, Chibchano) make up a language family indigenous to Colombia and Central America.

Monpirri, yes and not, I am not chibchombiano, instead, I am quimbayalombiano (quimbaya Colombiano). then Chibchas were from the Meseta de Bogota, so, some one from costeño roots cannot be Chibchombiano, maybe Olmecalombiano, Quimbayambiano, Tostecalombiano ot other.I do not like to be Called Chibchombiano, but I would be very happy to be called Quimbayalombiano.

This is just spanglish, please do not correct me

Mompirry, it there any reason why you copy and paste everything you have posted before on this threat? It looks like you are looking for recognition from everyone in PBH. You are so boring. besides, what you have written is just BS. The word chibchombiano was invented for Martin de Francisco to describe the vulgar, ordinary and non educated people from Colombia. Other thing, the Chibcha lenguage is extint. I am Colombian and so proud of being, but I am not chibchombiano instead I am Colombiano. If you are so proud of being part of a chibchombiano family, congratilation, you should appear on "La Tele" or in "El Siguiente Programa" if they are still on the air.
