Bandera de España

/Sounds like "GEE" (as in "geese") + "ree" (as in "reef")/

A foreign tourist in Spain, especially from northern Europe who comes looking for sun and beach. Guiris are easily spotted by their socks-with-sandals combo, sunburns, and beers at noon.

Example

"The beach is packed with guiris in summer, there's no room for anyone."

"That bar is a guiri trap, everything's overpriced."

Tomar o sujetar algo con la mano en Latinoamérica, el verbo que se usa en lugar de "coger" para evitar malentendidos incómodos. En España "coger" es inocente, pero del otro lado del Atlántico mejor usa "agarrar".
