fresa
n.— «Fresas (literally translated: strawberries, children of Guadalajara’s old-money elite) smoke Marlboro Lights and sip drinks.…For the fresa crowd, the actual coffee being served is moot. For them, being seen is everything—along with announcing their privilege. According to an American friend teaching in a private high school full of fresas, some students respond to an unfavorable assessment with an indignant, “Do you know who my father is?”» —“Moving in the fresa circles” by David Agren CBC News (Can.)
