What's the Word?

Ok, I need your help. Last night I was trying to come up with a word to describe those of us who are not native Guatemalans, and yet are infatuated with all things Guatemalan.

I didn’t have much luck on my own, so I’ve decided to seek the answer the most democratic way possible… I’m going to sit here and wait for corporate lobbyists to throw obscene amounts of money at me, and then tell me what to think.

No, no…sorry… that would be the most Republican way possible.

What I propose instead is to listen to the voice of the people (a.k.a. you)! So, feel free to leave your suggestions below by clicking on the comments button. A one-person jury comprised of myself will select the best entry (Democracy has its limits.)

If I can find a way to send a mango via email, there might even be a prize for the winning selection.

Some pre-rejected ideas I came up with on my own:

Guateholic
Guatemaladdict
Guatephile
Guatemalovers

Yeah, so you can see why I need your help. The best I came up with was “Guatemaniacs”; I’m sure that some clever wordsmith out there can do better than that!

So… stop reading, and start thinking! The world awaits your new word.
