What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

Mexican Spanish online term for women who sell goods through social media and marketplace apps, such as clothes, accessories, makeup and food, often handing orders over at agreed public spots such as metro stations. It began as a mocking label and is now partly claimed by the sellers themselves; some uses are classist or misogynistic.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"«Le compré los zapatos a una neni y me los entregó en el metro», contó."
