I do not understand the word "giros" in this context.

Question

"Hablaba el cura de las cosas más graves con giros campesinos."

this is from the book "Requiem Por un Campesino Espanol"

Answer 1

Giro = word or way of speech

The idea is to use simple words with the peasants

Answer 2

"Giro" here is like saying "twist" or "spin" (nouns). "He said it with a rural (country) twist.", for example. That is to say, in the manner in which is would be said by a rural person.
