The expression is also used to describe something that is in between, something not defined, something that is nothing. The banner was hung on the Mexican side of the border just by the highway outside the international airport in Tijuana the 9th of October, 2008.


Textiles ordered from indigenous women that sell and make their weaving crafts in the streets of Querétaro, Mexico. The pieces have the same patterns and designs from the textiles these women make and sell in the streets but with the difference that these textiles have famous band-names like Metallica and Kiss embroidered in them.

These specific traditional textiles are what tourists in Mexico commonly bring back to their countries as souvenirs from their trip and the people selling them are often described as a picturesque-exotic element to view as you stroll around streets and markets.
