Acorralada Trivia

I just noticed this on the Destilando board, which I was glancing at.

Pancho Villa's real name was Francisco, so a lot of people named Francisco, use the nickname Pancho.

So now we know where Pancholon's nickname must come from. That had always had me wondering!

I may be wrong but, I think Pancho was used long before Pancho Villa..it is just like calling someone Frank for Francis...Pepe is for Jose. Spanish like English has plenty of nicknames.
