¿Qué significa esta palabra en inglés?
Leí esta palabra, "pirujo/a" en una tira cómica, pero no puedo encontrarla en el diccionario. ¿Qué significa en inglés? Supongo que es una palabra despectiva basado del contexto.

I use this word in a coloquial context to say witch, in form affectionately

It appears with several Latin American meanings in the DRAE, as Jesús has exposed them below. But here in Spain we only use that word in the expression "la Bruja Piruja", which is a humorous name for any typical fairy tale witch. You may also hear "la Bruja Pirulí".
