English term

baggy

English to Spanish Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Slang
I've never been a chain person. Or I have never been a baggy man. It is said by a rapper, so it must be "street language".

I can find only the meaning related to clothes but in this case it is clearly another. Thank you in advance.

Gracias por la aclaración. Respondí tomando esto como base.
Barbara Cochran, MFA Apr 9, 2021:
That refers to guys who wear heavy chains as belts, or which they drape from other parts of their outfits.

How are you translating "chain person"? (to have further context)

que vista holgado

"Nunca fui hombre de cadenas. Nunca fui de los que visten holgado"

Frecuentemente en raperos y otras tribus urbanas toda la vestimenta es holgada, no solamente los jeans.

Referencias:
Well, you know, maybe if you didn't dress so baggy.
Bueno, ya sabes, quizás si no vistieras con ropa tan ancha.

Why do rappers wear baggy clothes?
¿Por qué usan ropa ancha los raperos?
https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/baggy

Wearing baggy clothes was an attempt to shift focus away from the body and move it towards the music.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_fashion

"Get a baggy t-shirt. Most hip-hop style trends involve baggy or loose clothing that is comfortable.[1] [2]

Basketball jerseys, especially vintage ones, are very popular.
Loose t-shirts with graphic prints are often featured by hip-hop designers such as Sean John and Wu Wear.
Baggy polo shirts and button downs are also fashionable.
Large hoodies in bright colors are very popular with rappers."

Baggy guy
A guy that wears clothes so baggy he forgets who he is as a man. He drowns silently in his bag, a mans bag defines him as a person.

jeans holgados (hiphop)


A mi sí me parece que se refiere a la vestimenta. Concuerda con a mención del no uso de las cadenas típicas de los raperos.

bombachos / recaudador

Para los pantalones se llaman "bombachos" o baggy
https://www.marie-claire.es/moda/tendencias/fotos/conoces-lo...

Para una persona diría que se refiere a "recaudador", un recaudador de la mafia, un intermediarion o algo así

Supongo que encaja con lo que quiere decir Shaggy

extravagante

En este caso, la palabra baggy no se refiere a la ropa sino a la persona. Según el urban dictionary se trata de una palabra que se puede sustituir por cualquiera:

TOP DEFINITION
baggy
Parts of speech: noun, adjective.
A word that can be used in place of almost any other word; It can literally mean anything and people will understand what you mean by it.

Como en la frase anterior habla de que nunca ha llevado cadenas de rapero, me parece que utilizar la palabra extravagante que se aplica a la persona que hace cosas *raras y, correspondientemente, a sus acciones, costumbres, etc., me parece muy apropiado.

English term (edited): baggy man

un tío de (llevar) ropa holgada

Nunca he sido (un tío) de (llevar) cadenas o ropa holgada...

Ambos paréntesis pueden obviarse (cualquiera de ellos o ambos), no afectando al sentido del fraseo; nunca he sido de cadenas y/o ropa holgada; nunca he sido de llevar cadenas...; nunca he sido un tío de cadenas...

En este caso baggy man no se referiría sólo a los pantalones sino a la ropa en general (camisetas, sudadera, etc.). El rapero se describe así como una rareza, en cuanto a aspecto general dentro del género, donde el uso de cadenas y ropa holgada es casi generalizado.
