Michael M asked in Society & CultureLanguages · 10 years ago

In Spain, what does it mean to refer to a woman as "una zorra"?

I get the impression it is a derogatory term. (literally "a female fox", which in English has no negative connotations at all.)

I realize that slang is different in different Spanish-speaking countries (just as American and British slang are quite different). this question is about Spain.

If the meaning is really offensive, I apologize.

    The Literal meaning is " Fox ", but unlike it Britain, where if you you called a woman a "Fox" or "Foxy" she would more than likely be flattered, a Spanish woman would not.

    A very slight difference in meaning, but think of it as referring to a British woman as a Pig instead...
