Thanks DLyons.

José, I went with the nickname Lencha, as the girl's name turned out to be Florencia. Thanks for your help. If you post an answer I can give you the points.

Any name ending in enza or renzia wold have a "Lencha" nickname... My aunt Luz was Tia Lucha...

Thanks José, I didn't know it was a term used to insult maids. That isn't the context here (one girl is jealous of the other, thinks she's messing around with her boyfriend) but it's a good thing to know for the future.

I'll investigate further to see if by any chance the girl she called "lencha" is named either Lorenza or Florencia.

Mexican Telenovelas do not deal with optative sexual inclinations... I would rule out the L word...however if it was a homeowner... like the ultrarich that these novelas always have, verbally slapping around a maid... verify that the term was not "chacha" a short for Muchacha, which is slightly peyorative to maids. This term would pass the TV guidelines of Mexicco.

In Nicaragua, as an adjective it's "tonta".

My wife said it can be Lorenza or Florencia... nickname Lencha, as Nacho for Ignacio...

If they were referring to the maid... it is a despective term for a maid... Or her Nickname was Lencha.... maybe they decreased the offensive word.
