Loca
/Sounds like "LOH" (as in "loan") + "kah" (as in "car")/
Meaning
In Chile, a derogatory term for a woman with an active dating or sex life, implying she's 'loose.' Among female friends, though, it gets softened, calling your group 'las locas' is affectionate and carries no negative weight.
Examples
“They call her that because she's with someone different every weekend.”
“We went out with the girls for some drinks.”
