amigas
Gal pals, Español
Amigas is the Spanish word for female friends, borrowed into English and used especially in regions with significant Spanish-speaking populations or by speakers with Latin American cultural ties.
It conveys warmth and familiarity that the English word "friends" sometimes lacks.
I'm meeting my amigas for drinks tonight.
The masculine or mixed-gender equivalent is amigos.
