word on the street

information or gossip derived from sources outside mainstream society, usually judged as more reliable by the criminal underclass and mafiosi/gangster-types.

Carlo Bartolucci: That phone call I got, it came from outside high walls and fancy gates; it comes from a place you know about maybe from the movies. But I come from out there, and everybody out there knows, everybody lies: cops lie, newspapers lie, parent's lyin'. The one thing you can count on - word on the street... yeah, that's solid.

hembra

literally means "feminine" in spanish, like when referring to female animals, but is usually another slang term for woman, chick, lady, girl, etc.

Damn, look at that fine hembra over there.
