basically is that where the phrase gurilla war came from?
2006-11-14 04:31:31 · update #1
The origin of the term "guerrilla" comes from the Peninsular War (1808-14), where Spanish soldiers, fighting out of formation and against the standard practices of the times, crushed Napoleons' occupying armies. In Spanish guerrilla means "little war". The tactics of the Spanish were so successful, that the name stuck.

It's Guerilla. I've never heard guerra pequeña or chiquita.

Guerilla...of course. I kind of think you knew that. Of course they pronounce it ger-ri-ya, not "gorilla". I used to think "gorilla fighters" grabbed people by the neck from behind, like gorillas.
