| Clarification request(s) and responseHenry Hinds: 17:08 Nov 2, 2004: More CONTEXT is needed, otherwise prepare for guesses. -
María Teresa Taylor Oliver: 17:30 Nov 2, 2004: We need to know the source country, the Spanish variant... As you're aware, the language varies greatly from one country to another. We also need more context, please. -
Stanley Garland (asker): 17:38 Nov 2, 2004: Yes, the study is being conducted among mexican migrant high school students. The respondant was talking about certain types of girls in the school that would not associate with him for some reason.
Henry Hinds: 20:35 Nov 2, 2004: It might have been poorly transcribed with errors, therefore we might have to think what it should be rather than what we see. I'll think, but no guarantees! -
María Teresa Taylor Oliver: 17:34 Nov 11, 2004: Glad to be of help :) -

| | viejitas = hags | Açıklama:
Not sure about the "galas" part, but "vijitas" may be "viEjitas", diminutive for "viejas".
In Mexican Spanish, "vieja" is a derogatory term for any woman, specially one's wife.
