spanish phrase which refers to a woman who never married and is of an advanced age, an old maid. It literally means "one who dresses saints." In the past when a woman was unmarried she often dedicated her time to her local church and its maintenance and so this term became adopted.

"No, era maricon, she's just you know, there, a vestir santos..."
"pity.."
