Tall Tales: Slangs: Gargi

Sistren: This is the exact female equivalent of bredrin. It’s used for your close girlfriends, your girls, or the women in your crew who you consider family. It has a really warm, sisterly vibe to it, and it’s often used in a supportive way. If a group of girls are going out and one is looking really pretty, another might say “you look good, sistren.” It just shows a level of solidarity and love among women that goes beyond just being casual friends. It’s a beautiful word for female friendship.
