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
