/Sounds like "trah" (as in "tract") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A muscular, buff woman who clearly trains hard and hits the gym regularly. In Mexico it is used as a compliment in fitness circles, celebrating visible strength and dedication. Outside the gym context it can carry a more judgmental or dismissive tone depending on who says it.

Examples

You're looking seriously fit, girl; how long have you been training?

That girl is super built; she lifts more than I do.

She got really buff after six months of CrossFit.
