we don't really use it either (at least not anymore), except when we're trying to evoke a bit of color when we make fun of left-wingers. it dates back to the cold war. Reds = pinkos
Now basically it means the same as "mate". Next time you're in the American deep south, just call everyone a pinko. Go to a bar and say, "Two Dixies in the bottle, pinko"..."Thanks Pinko...I'll have another round in a few, Pinko."
