I am looking for the meaning of "el farias"
I have come across another word for which I cannot find a meaning while listening to Manuel Vázquez Montalbán's detective story Pepe Carvalho y una desconacida.
This time I hear the word correctly: "farias". On the other hand, when I first heard this, I was very confused because I heard "el farias" The "s" gave me the expectation of finding the word "faria"...which I did not find either, by the way.
I finally had recourse to the script for the story to check the spelling - that what I was hearing is what is being said - that I heard the "el" correctly, too.
Now I have searched for "farias" in the several dictionaries - both hardcover and online, but with no result.
Here the context:
Camioneros semidormidos por el sopor de la digestión, diríase que sostenidos por el farias que languidece en sus labios.
Any ideas? Doesn't the quote tempt you, too, to want to read/hear the whole story. It is very good!!

Oh Heidita, I am so grateful!
In fact, before posting, I searched for "farias" via Google. I found a Ferias tool maker, a Ferias surf and sport shop, even a state senator here in Texas. Perhaps if I had just kept leafing through the following results pages, I would have found my answer. On the other hand, I find your picture delightful and would have missed it!!
I now feel foolish not to have thought about searching with www.google.es!! Having read your post, I did so and found:

Incidentally, these were NOT the first results presented by the search engine, but rather a soccor player and a bicyclist were higher on the list, as was a president of Mexico from the 19th century.
...would my eyes have landed upon the cigar and put it between the lips of those drowsy truckers without your post? I am not sure. Te doy las gracias!!
Hi Janice, I guess you have to be Spanish to know
Farias are this, yes, normally used in plural even though referring to only one object
Dame un farias.
