Spanglish & No Sabo Kid Hats

A no sabo kid understands Spanish and answers in English, and the phrase is a joke on itself: the grammatical form would be no se, so the label is the mistake. It started as an insult from older speakers and has become a badge on TikTok, covered as "from insult to badge of pride" by Yahoo and by Telemundo. The audience is large. About 72% of US Hispanics and Latinos ages 5 and up speak only English or speak English very well, up from 65% in 2010, and roughly half report feeling shamed for not speaking Spanish. These hats take the badge in the first person. SPANGLISH and NO SABO KID name the identity plainly, since the Spanglish shirts found online mostly target Spanish teachers, not the bilingual household. The sentence designs carry the jokes that household tells: code-switching mid-sentence, ahorita meaning a little later in Caribbean Spanish and right now in Mexico and Colombia, a Spanish made of sazón instead of grammar, and a speaker who does not know the verb but knows the tamales. NI DE AQUÍ NI DE ALLÁ gives the in-between feeling of being the gringo in the room when relatives visit from Colombia a hat of its own. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. NO SABO PERO ESTOY TRYING and I SAY AHORITA AND I MEAN NEVER each come in two colorways. Wear one, or give it to the prima, tia or partner who answers mom in English.
