it is a nice way to warn you to be careful...apparently, there is something aboujt this girl that every one sees but you, which often happens...it may be something in her past, it may be the way she comes across i.e., presents herself, or it could simply be a comment she made that rubbed someone the wrong way...if it is the last one, a slip of the lip, then let it go; they will judge her by the way she treats you when you are together; is she rude? does she cuss? does she cut you off or anyoine else, in mid-sentence? does the conversation have to revolve around her and leave you and everyone else out? It is hard to see the small things when you love someone, so do not blow up and be mad, just start to look for little things that seem to upset or out right anger your family about her...worse comes to worse, ask them what it is they do not care for about her....

They probably got a very bad impression about the girl.
It's like...you say..."She's a trashy woman."
Well, she might be if she has all of the tell-tale signs of a trashy woman. If you don't know the exact context of the conversation then they could be saying a multitude of things like she's a slut, cheater, dumb, etc.
If something:
Looks like a duck
Quacks like a duck
Walks like a duck
Acts like a duck
then it's probably a duck ;)
If someone:
Looks trashy (physical appearance, dress)
Sounds trashy (her voice, choice of words)
Walks trashy (sleezy mannerisms)
Then they're probably on the trashy side.
Using the "duck" reference is just how people say this sort of thing without sounding vulgar in front of others. You don't want to say, "Wow! His girlfriend is such a whore! Look at her!" so you say, "Well...if she looks like a duck...she probably is one!" Most people will pick up on what the person is saying then without them needing to say the choice words they are thinking of ;)

It's a figure of speech saying if someone acts like something, they probably are. So rhetorically, if someones acts stupid, they must be, etc.
