Lela is a synonym for lesbian used primarily among the youth of Chile.[1] This term can be used pejoratively, but it's generally used as a shorter word for "lesbiana" in a reclaiming manner.

Similar terms include: fleta, maricona, torta, sopaipilla and croqueta.

Pronunciation

"Leh-lah".

Etymology

It is unclear whether or not lela comes from a deformation of the word "lesbiana" in Spanish or if it's originates from the general spanish meaning of lela,[2] which is "stupid, dull, dummy or idiot."[3] The word lela is also short for "abuela", which happens to mean grandma.[4]
