Lol, I never thought about that. I wonder what the etymology is.

Well... if it's a Mencia joke, chances are it didn't start out that way.

Same about that other word for chunk tbh. I don't know how that got started.

The phrase "span-new" meant as new as a freshly cut wood chip, such as those once used to make spoons. In a metaphor dating from at least 1300, something span-new was neat and unstained.[1]
S*** was added in the 16th century, as a 'spick' (a spike or nail) was another metaphor for something neat and trim. The British phrase may have evolved from the Dutch spiksplinter nieuw, "spike-splinter new".[2] In 1665, Samuel Pepys used spicke and span in his famous diary. The "clean" sense appears to have arisen only recently.[3] The term is completely unrelated to the modern epithet s***.

I don't speak for all Hispanic males of course, but if they decide to rebrand, I'd consider it fair enough.

Carlos Mencia might actually be as edgy as he thinks he is now of days.
