Cholo Word Of The Day - Ranfla
Ranfla is a word that is not-so-common in Texas, even though, in the barrio where I grew up, it was used every now and then, by the hard-core cholos. A ranfla is not just any car, it's a smooth ride, usually a lowrider. However, the term can be used to talk about any car.
A cool ranfla:
Word: Ranfla
Meaning According To DT: lowrider, cool car, or just your car.
Used in a sentence:
"Oyes puppet, I'm taking out my morra in my new ranfla tomorrow, so can you give me some feria for gas?"
"Borrado, I already told you I'm broke, ese. No estes mamando."
Translation according to DT:
"Excuse me Puppet, I'm taking out my lady in waiting in my new vehicular tomorrow, so can I please have some money for gas?"
"Hazel Eyes, I already told you I'm broke. Please stop bothering me."
Bonus Words:
Morra: girl
Feria: money

it is NOT: I'm taking out my lady in waiting in my new vehicular tomorrow
it IS: I'm taking out my lady in my new car tomorrow....
also, ranfla is "zorra" or bitch in Sabinas, Coahuila, Mexico.

Morra is young girl like the way people would say "my chick" en inglés
Ruca means old lady as in "me and my old lady are going to the movies"
Any nice car, and if it's yours you'll say it's nice even if it isn't, but a ranfla is usually used for a fixed up low rider. As in "I traded in my Honda Civic that was a year old because what I really want is a former ranfla so I can get all the firme hynas."

Where I'm from, ruca (or ruco) means older man or woman so my ruca would be my old lady aka wife. We say Hayna instead of ruca. morras are the little girls
