The original 'Waygo' is known to have been derived from one of the two waiters at a Spanish restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey - 1985. The Waygo is often clueless and can provide comic relief in their: -Accented english -Blank Stares -Answering non "Yes” or “No" questions, with "Yes” or “No." The mixing of the Spanish and English languages of these non-natives has also lead to an extensive list of 'Waygoisms,' variations of English words with Hispanic accents, and literal transla- tions of Spanish/Hispanic sayings directly to English.
