description: "Germán Genaro Cipriano Teodoro Gómez Valdés y Castillo, known as Tin-Tan, was a Mexican actor, comedian and singer who was born in Mexico City, but was raised and began his career in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. He often displayed the pachuco dress and employed pachuco slang in many of his movies, some with his brothers, Ramón Valdés «Don Ramón» and Manuel «El Loco »Valdés. He made the language of the border Mexican, known in Spanish as fronterizos pachucos, famous in Mexico. A \"caló\" based in Spanglish, it was a mixture of Spanish and English in speech based on that of Mexicans on the Mexican side of the border, specifically Ciudad Juarez."
