Dutch term or phrase: muts

Explanation:
I know this is not Spanish, but as a native speaker of Dutch I thought I'd inform you all of the meaning of 'muts' in colloquial Dutch (our anonymous asker seems too lazy to provide this information). Now.... who is going to translate this into colloquial Spanish?

gorros


Explanation:
THIS QUESTION WAS POSTED AS ENGLISH SPANISH, BUT IT IS DUTCH! (What the hell does "spreektaal" mean?)

"Mut" (Dutch) is "gorro" (Spanish) in singular, "gorros" in plural. In general and also in specialised fields like surgery (see references).

estar de mal humor


Explanation:
Hola Anonymous,

Supongo que lo que quieres es la traducción de "muts" en lenguaje coloquial, hablado.
La palabra sin más contexto significa, tal y como ha dicho, Cidcampead, gorro o gorros.

Ahora bien, si la palabra aparece en alguna expresión como:
"de muts staat hem niet goed" significa "está de mal humor o está de malas"

Si de lo contrario aparece en "he heeft zijn muts verkeerd staan" significa "se ha levantado con el pie izquierdo".

Espero que te sea de ayuda,
Saludos

By the way, MIRROR, if you´ve confessed that you don´t have a clue about Spanish, how do you dare disagree with our answers, which are correct? Next time I suggest you use a \"neutral\" option. It has a much less pedantic effect, if you know what I mean...
