Little Fox

Question

What would be the most elegant way to say 'little fox' in Spanish, while possibly implying 'little whore' along the way as a kind of pun? "zorra pequeña"? "pica zorra"? "zorrita"'

Answer 1

I think zorra in Mexican slang does mean a woman with loose morals, and the diminutive would indeed be zorrita. I'm not sure of the level of insult or compliment this would convey.

Using such words can be dangerous for non-natives. Be careful!

Answer 2

Yes, I learned the hard way. I used to learn new slang words and then couldn't wait to try them out, but then found out that I sounded like either an idiot or an arrogant ass.

As Dirty Harry said, a man's got to know his limitations, and I know I'll never speak Spanish well enough to indulge in such language. The best I can hope for is to understand it when I see or hear it.

Answer 3

Thanks guys. Indeed, quite dangerous - but sometimes there's the fun! I want the double entendré to borrow from another language in this case and wonder if there's another way to say female fox without the more cozy diminutive of zorrita'
