I can't think of any one word that really captures it myself. It means someone who is conventional, doesn't stray too far from the norm, who is a little bit fussy and prone to complaining about any situation that's unsafe or insalubrious, and, this is key, like showing they are a class above the "pueblo". Fresa 3 adj (Coloq) Tratándose de jóvenes, que no se arriesga a contravenir normas y leyes, que pertenece a una clase social privilegiada, generalmente de dinero y con gustos e ideología conservadores: un chavo fresa, “Hay unos que son bien fresas y no entran en onda”, “Si eres fresa, ¿por qué traes greña?” "We look like typical suburbanites, I don't really think so myself" (i.e. as it's pejorative, he's saying they don't really look "fresa" in his mind.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 38 mins (2017-02-10 21:33:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reference is from http://dem.colmex.mx via Charles D. |
