huerquilla

Huerquilla is pronounced (wer-kia). It is slang for 'dude' or 'chick' in the northern parts of Mexico, including Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico City, Monterrey and areas generally 2 hours south of the Texas border. Other states in Mexico have their own slang names (e.g. Sinaloa: Plebe, Michoacan: Vale o Buki, etc.). "Werkia" is generally associated with a female of Hispanic or Mexican heritage. The words 'werkia' (Arabic) and 'verka' (Russian) have other meanings. To see huerquilla spelled as 'werkia', the educated person knows that their correspondent has only common and auditory use of the word, instead of actual knowledge of authentic origins. {alternate spellings: "Werca" and "gûerca", and if the person is really confused, "guera"}

güerquilla

Pronounced "wor-key-ya"
Sometimes spelled "huerquilla"

It is a spanish slang word commonly used by Mexicans. It means little girl and is a similar slang to the english word "rascal". It is NOT a term of endearment and would only be appropriate to use for someone that you know well. Since gender is used in the spanish language, it is important to note the following:

Güerquilla = little girl
Güerca = girl
Güerquillo = little boy
Güerco = boy

Güerquillas = more than one little girl
Güercas = more than one girl
Güerquillos = more than one little boy OR a group of little boys & little girls
Güercos = more than one boy OR a group of boys & girls

La "güerquilla" está jugando con sus jugetes.
