Yuma
n.— «Tu si te las sabes todas, desde el Rosita de Hornedo hasta lo de la Yuma. Efectivamente, no se si te recuerdas, se trataba de una pelicula de Glenn Ford, “The 3:10 to Yuma” Asi creo que se llamaba. Esta pelicula cuando la echaron formo tremendo revuelo, pues en los cines en esos dias lo que estaban “echando” era pura bazofia del campo socialista. Se formaron tremendas colas y la gente comenzo a popularizar y asociar Yuma con USA.» —“Re: What does gusano mean?” by golo1945@aol.com (GOLO1945) Usenet: soc.culture.cuba Jan. 21, 1996.
