You Know That You Are Dominican When You Say....

What about?
Any 4 wheeler is a "jipeta", not knowing that the original Jeeps or "jipetas" were the Jeeps that people in El Ejercito and La Marina De Guerra used back in the days. I believe that the Rangler's Jeeps should be the only ones called "jipetas.

You know you are an older Dominican if you say:
?C?mo e'tamo' ? This is courtly way of greeting people: ?C?mo estamos? How are we today?
If you like "jonikaike" , you are a Dominican.
If you say "?Ai Co?o!" at every pothole or stupid driver, you are nearly a Dominican.
If you drive "sobao" you are Dominican.
If you can say "?Ag?a?tame un minuto, co?o!" you are a Dominican...
If you know what "pilas" are, you are probably Dominican.
If you say "D?me un caribe List?n Diario." you are probably Dominican
If you understand what a "parlai de 03-30" is, you are a Dominican.
Nuf fer now,

Hee hee - doesn't that mean waiting around, doing nothing? Qu? tu haces, ahi? No, na - aqu? esperando yuca...
Not sure if it's old-fashioned. Someone told me recently that "sica" (as in "mierda") is an old Cibae?o word no longer in use. That's funny, cause we sure use it a lot here...That and "?eca". In a nice way, of course.
How about something that smells "a pavito chiquito?" I bet that's exclusively Dominican.
(Oh my God, can someone corroborate this expression - or are my husband and his family users of some expression that is unknown? Why would a little turkey smell so bad? And what about something that smells "a mono mojao"? It's not like there are tonnes of monkeys running around DR.)
WEIRD.

)T?sico(a) can also mean that the person suffers from tuberculosis, thus the skinny or gaunt.Talldrink said:
Tisis is tuberculosis. I will check if it is a dominicanism or if it really exists in Spanish. Interesting word.
