What Does This Mean?
Colloquial and derogatory word in Peninsular Spanish for a woman or girl fitting the stereotype of a flashy, working-class young person from the outskirts of a city, tied to sportswear and a loud style; it is the feminine of "poligonero" and a near synonym of "choni". It is a stereotyping label used by outsiders and sometimes ironically by those it targets.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""No seas poligonera y deja de gritar en la calle," her friend teased her."
LORE & ORIGIN
English Wiktionary labels "poligonera" colloquial and derogatory, formed from "polígono" (industrial estate, also used for peripheral housing areas) plus the suffix "-era", gives "choni" as a synonym and treats it as the feminine of "poligonero". No source consulted documents who first used the feminine form or when. The existing entry "poligonero" covers the masculine form and the wider stereotype; this entry records the feminine label and its gendered use.
