Explanation:
Watch out, in some places it means in less aggressive terms a loose girl or lady. Could be the feminine and less aggressive term for a crazy individual.

Explanation:
without more context, it could be just guessing.

if they called you:

"loquita", o "estás loquita" o "eres una loquita",
that is what it would mean: "you´re cuckoo"

But you really need to give more context...
