No, there's definitely a 'fruity' in the language files. I've seen it plenty of times throughout a multitude of games.

"Girlish" would be an extension of "girl."  They both translate into the same dwarven word.

At one point two imps were walking about on the surface on the other side of the map, I only noticed once they got names that they weren't in the pipe, then I looked at said name: 'Roadscrapped'.
He died next to a frozen brook that sort of looks like a road, so could this be one of the first cases of dwarven roadkill?

fruitseers maybe? There is no fruity in the language files or string dump so, unless dwarf fortress suddenly developed grammar you'd have to mod your files. I'm sorry but if it's not there it's not there, look for yourself.

And why would you mod your files to include girlish and fruity =/

'Fruity' is the adjective of 'fruit'. 'Girlish' is the adjective of 'girl'. They're both in the language_words.txt in the raws.
