what does “morra” mean in spanish?
I keep hearing the word “morra” from the kids in my neighborhood, but I'm not sure what it means. They won’t tell me, and I’m curious to know its definition and any context in which it is commonly used. Can anyone help me understand what "morra" signifies in Spanish?

I wouldnt say it is border slang, much more like Northern Mexico including states that dont border the USA
But yea its girl or chick
This is a terribly demeaning word for a woman. You have to undersatand the history of this word. I doubt that the kids saying this have even a mild idea of what it comes from. They’re idots.
This comes from the time that the morros ruled Latin America for a short time. Today, there is no remorse for the times that they killed thouusands in Latin America. But who were the morros??
These were the North Atlantic visitors to Latin shores. They were the vistiors that brought disease and death to thousands. It’s underdable why this is hated.
The “morros” are so hated that there is a common expression in spanish that says that “No hay morros en la costa” (there are no morros on the coast) or, in other words, the coast is clear – go for it.
It’s very sad that the kids say this but they have no idea of the history of this word and are just idiots and I’d say just ignore them and make the best of your life. Study and go for making the best life for you that you can.
