Answer 1

I was in a club in Ecuador with some native ecuadorian single men when a group of very hot ladies came in...The native speaker I was with said, "Que hembras!!" to which they all agreed. Although hembra means a female animal or plant it is a common street slang for a hot lady. hope that helps you next time!

Hello again, Ricardo! In Colombia hembra just meant a female child as in "Temgo quatro hijos, dos varones y dos hembras." Nothing sexual here just a mom talking about her children. - Jubilado, Feb 24, 2013

Interesting! Must be a cultural thing between countries. I don't have enough experience with the language to know - Ricardonuevo, Feb 24, 2013

Using hembras to refer to girls is really ugly and in many (maybe most) places, really disrespectful. - afowen, Feb 24, 2013

That may well be but this is obviously street slang which we all know tends to many times cross the lines of acceptable speach and protocol. thus the word "slang" - Ricardonuevo, Feb 25, 2013
