Surface Forms

Morphology

quintessential + sarong + party + girl

The phrase's basic sense — an ideal/example of a girl who wears a sarong and likes parties — follows directly from the constituents ('quintessential' + 'sarong' + 'party' + 'girl'), so a learner who knows those words can form a reasonable literal interpretation. However, 'sarong party girl' is a regionally specific social stereotype with cultural connotations beyond the literal parts, so the full pragmatic/pejorative nuance is not fully predictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Quintessential sarong party girl may come from the clear picture of a young, outgoing woman in a bright sarong dancing at beach parties and clubs as the perfect party girl. So, the phrase means 'a typical or perfect example' of a sociable young woman who loves parties and the beach.
