/Sounds like 'GREH-lah'/
Girlfriend or woman, from old Buenos Aires lunfardo slang rooted in the world of tango and the conventillos. Grela is vintage street speech — you'd hear it in old black-and-white films or from someone who loves classic Buenos Aires culture.
"Aquella era la grela del bandoneón."
"La grela de Pedro es re linda. → She was the bandoneon player's girl."
"Pedro's girlfriend is really pretty."
