Personally, I use the term buddy for some females I consider fairly close friends. I see nothing wrong with calling a female "buddy"; however, I like "mi amiga" because it is friendly and most everybody understands.
You could use "gal-pal" or "girl-bud".
More of a slang thing probably, but "sis" sounds like a good option to me.
It could be a good option. Let's make it viral hahaha :rolleyes:Quote:

Could "gal" be an option too?
I think so. I've also heard men refer to female friends as "gal-pal"Quote:

Entiendo que "fiera" podría referirse a una mujer, también.
