Jalapeña is the feminine form of jalapeño. Jalapeños are large chili peppers, known for being quite spicy.
History
While Elisa Maza was undercover, she and Tony Dracon shared a jar of Jalapeña Brand jalapeños, which was later given to Broadway. After Dracon was arrested, Goliath tried a jalapeño, and subsequently yelled "Jalapeña!" ("Protection") [1]
Since then, "jalapeña" has become something of a curse word among the Manhattan Clan and has similar usage as the phrase "holy cow" and the like.
Uses
- Broadway and Goliath in "Protection"
- Brooklyn in "The Price"
- Goliath in "Avalon" Part Three
- Elisa in "Sanctuary"
- Hudson and Lexington in "Pendragon"
- Goliath in "Eye of the Storm"
- Hudson in "Vendettas"
- Elisa in "Nightwatch"
- Elisa in "Reunion"
- Gnash in "New Rules"
Apocrypha
Prior to the initial airing of "Protection", Brooklyn uses the expression when parasailing for the first time in Gargoyles #5 "Venus In Stone" by Marvel Comics.
Production Background
Keith David used to shout out "jalapeña" as a replacement for "hallelujah." He picked that up from a Blues singer named Bernadine Mitchell. [2] Voice Director Jamie Thomason bet Greg Weisman he could not work that into the show, and Greg bet that he could. [3] Later, Gary Sperling wrote and story edited "Protection" (poor, innocent Gary Sperling), and Greg worked in a little subplot involving jalapeño peppers, so that at the end, Goliath would shout "Jalapeña!" [4]
Frank Paur and others who worked on the show hated it. [5]
Though Goliath's encounter with jalapeño peppers at the end of "Protection" leads to it becoming a pseudo-curse, Broadway uses it in that sense earlier in the episode, before Goliath's experience.
In 2021, NECA would immortalize the running gag in plastic.
