    Hmm, ok. I really thought it was like loli or Lolita, but I’m just going to take your word on it because it’s not really a topic I want researching to end up in my permanent Google and government record.

      Yeah like Lola Rabbit or Lola by The Kinks. …

      I swear I know a Lola or two IRL but dang my what came into mind pop culture wise really only kind of helps. Neither are Lolita related at least

        I’d thought it literally meant little girl, but I just looked that up and I was definitely wrong on it. Must have been a Spanglish mangling on my part.

        Gordita definitely still means fat little girl, though, and I’m going to keep thinking that’s a weird ass thing to call a food.

          No worries. Language is all made up anyways and full of weird origins and understandings. For all I know Lola does have some ancient freaky origin lol
