I just signed up for the EFF OF EX forum. Why? I don't even know.
D: .... I seriously >>
jinxed myself<< with this whole Krystal and Manber thing.
Searching the Web for “la chata” brings up a range of uses, from affectionate to vulgar. I suspect — or am I hoping — in this case, they are using it in its happier meaning. It originally was applied to women with small or snub noses (”chato” for men). “La chata” can now be used as an affectionate term or a nickname for a woman. Hell, even restaurants have the name.
Lachata puede ser el nombre de un antiguo bar mexicano al estilo “baqueros del oeste” y si se fijan bien las chicas F(x) tienen como que un aire a cowgirl.
Also we call “chata ” a una pequeña botella de ron o wisky...

Hmmm let's see how much Spanish I can remember...
"Lachata" can be the name of an “old western bar” in Mexico and somethingsomethingsomething the girls can be portrayed as cowgirls.
The name “la chata” separately and literally means a tiny/short girl or a little bottle of whisky/rum
btw, check 0:52
f(x)(에프엑스)_티져무비(Teaser Movie) their hand sign is like a gun. I guess that explains their plaid shirts and the ruffly skirt Krystal was wearing... and the vest thingie Manber was wearing...
Edit:
This is one of the few times I’ll ever question SM Entertainment and their plans… but…
i don’t get why SM ent has to wait and see how they (EFF OF EX) do when SNSD is the bigger and older group. Like what’s new for SM Ent to test? And if there’s anything to test, shouldn’t you test with SNSD first so you know what to do for the new group (i.e. EFF OF EX)?
…Please don’t tell me SM Entertainment has caught onto the ass backwardness of the industry! D:
I mean I get that they want to protect SNSD cuz they’re the princesses (sorry, you’d have to kill the Queen B to be the queens, girls) of SM now… but…. Meh. I guess it makes sense because you can’t bring them to China (since they already have a big Korean group there already, two if you wanna count DBSK, and the fact that the Chinese once hated the girls) and you can’t bring them to Japan (too many big numbered girl groups already and Japanese music industry is in the craps both musically and economically). So I guess it is better for EFF OF EX to go overseas than the girls…
