Answer 1

Ok, here's what I found out. This info comes from my Mexican friend and seems to be inline with what I discovered through Google.

What does “manita traeme la greñuda ok" mean in English, and would this be a typical question from a husband to wife??

greñas is basically hair that is despeinado - uncombed, messy.

greñuda/greñudo comes from the word greñas and is someone with messy hair.

Literally he's saying "bring me the girl with messy hair. " I'm not sure what manita refers to, a name maybe.

My friend also said this person could be using greñuda to refer to the female body part, but we can't tell that for sure.

I thought manita was a shortened version of hermanita (or just a name of course) but if it didn't ring instant bells to you, then it's probably not the case. You know a lot more than me :) - Manity, Jul 30, 2013

I thought manita was a shortened version of hermanita

That could very well be Manity, it hadn't occurred to me.

Welcome to the forum. Let's see if someone knows this phrase. "Grenuda" means hippy, I think.
