A lo mejor es una macutada

Question

dos peronajes de un libro estan buscando prostitutas y luego dicen: —A lo mejor es una macutada. —Por el camino nos enteraremos. no sé que significa la primera frase?

Answer 1

Una macutada is a piece of gossip, a rumor.

I guess it comes from Radio Macuto, an expression used at least in Spain (I've just read in South America they say Radio Pasillo) refering to rumors that have been spread but no one knows where do they come from.

I don't know if you have trouble with the rest of the sentence. If so, give it a try first, and then we'll help.

thanks a lot. it seems working in this sentence. - venus_z, Jul 1, 2011
