tecata
female drug user(commonly in hispanic circles).female junkie or drug dealer in a hispanic neighbourhood or city.
minerva is such a tecata!,we saw her zig zagging across main street all day, high as a kite!
“tecata” had already meant heroin for decades — both in nyc and in puerto rico — when i learned the word in the early 80’s.when i lived puerto rico in 82-83, the most common words for junk were “tecata” and “manteca”.
i’ve never heard a junky called anything else but “un tecato” (or “una tecata”, if a woman)by boricuas.
“quiero capear tecata” — “i want to cop some junk”.
i know the word tecato, as a herion user, never heard of tecata,
, maybe a female user?
my primo is un tecato.
