It's a sentence in a Mexican novel I'm reading: ) - Ranman, Jul 9, 2013

Answer 1

The little research we did shows this word " trasijaderas " as an old ( 19th century ) Mexican word for "hallways", or in Spanish "pasillos," it can also be a fence or palisade ,"vallado",o "empalizada".

The meaning of the sentence, which by the way belongs to the famous book "Pedro Páramo" written by Juan Rulfo, is;

"con lo crecidas que están las matas ya mero se nos meten en las trasijaderas".

" The weeds have grown so much that they are almost coming into (our) hallways/palisades/fences".

The original phrase is written in a very "colloquial" way so it is not a precise translation.

How it is used outside of Mexico I cannot comment.

Thanks, that makes sense. - 0083f5dc, Jul 9, 2013

Answer 2

To be clean we will say trasijaderas means buttocks/ butt cheeks.

They are also called nalgas.

Nalgas can also be used to describe something that is bad, or smells bad.

Dude, that is so f-----g nalgas.

Did you smell him, he smells nalgas.
