The Lone Ranger: Good or Bad?
PostPosted: Wed Oct 05, 2005 9:15 pm
I grew up listening to the old shows of the lone ranger, and liking them ok, but not locing them or hating them.
One day my spanish teacher told us that
Tonto, the name of The Lone Ranger's indian companion in spanish means: Stupid. And that Kemosabe was a play on the slang phrase "Que me sabe" which roughly means, one who know more.
This site shows other meanings that could be behind these names.
