Talk:beaner

Just a note, " 'beaner" [SIC] in Rock/Mountain climbing is short for carabiner. The spelling is different, but I'm not sure how often it is actually spelled, short-form.

also, derogitory name for Mexican. nickname for a CPA?

 * The second definition (Mexican) is correct. I have never heard of the first definition, "an excellent example of its kind". —Stephen 14:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Etymology 2 says "unknown", but seems evident
If bean means "head", then it's just bean + -er, at least in some of the senses, isn't it? Equinox ◑ 06:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
