muchas gracias.

Aguichi---perhaps something to do with water???

A todo gavete--no expense spared

dale------Depending on the circumstances: Give it to him/her; Hit him/her!

cuentale-----Tell him/her--as in a story

dile------Tell him/her--as in a statement or demand "D?le que s?!"

pa'que------What for? or What for!!!:( Or "Why?":(:() Sort of emphatic.

por aya-- spelled wrong...por all? = over there or that way

sonrifiao---not the foggiest...it could be: son rifiao = they are raffeled

Generally speaking, lower class usage.

HB :D:D:D

perrear is related to perro (dog), dancing 'doggystyle', it's part of reggaeton, you can picture the dance

Sounds like you were listening to the Iberostar Theme song. Dale palla dale paca, i know its supposed to have accents and what not, but i didn't sleep night and really don't care at this moment.

Anyways there theme song is by a group called Mestizzo (sp). and it contains most if not all of thoes words.

I am guessing that some of those words are of puerto rican origin since it looks like if they come from reggeaton songs.

Thank you Leslie. I have been trying to figure out what some of these terms meant for a long time. Especially Saoco. I found various reggeaton dictionaries online but they needed updating.
