chicas
Young women, borrowed
Chicas is Spanish for girls, borrowed into English in regions with Spanish influence and in casual speech elsewhere.
It often carries a warm, familiar tone: I'm meeting the chicas for drinks.
Like the English "girls," it typically refers to young women or female friends rather than children.
