What is Maria Gasolina?
1.
In Brazil, a woman who only dates men who have cars, because it shows a certain social status and wealth. These women obviously deny this realty except for a few honest ones that are proud to be "selective". Of course, whether these women are honest or in denial, they should be avoided at all cost! The name Maria can after be used with any last name to show that the certain women is only looking for this detail (example: Maria Money/Maria Playboy...)
woman:"so, can you come and pick me up at my place?"
man:"could you be anymore of a Maria Gasolina?"
woman:"...."(silence indicating guilt)
man:"that's what I thought!"
