On the light side, what names do you hate to be called in DR?
TW, I have to compliment you on your recent posts. Good to have you back full force. I had a dog in the DR named Sicote. My current dog is named Mojona. I have heard people referred to as mojon (turd). To add to Hillbilly comment, where does Cocolo come from? I knew you would have a nice list. Mine includes the regular gringo, americano, rubio, and the sort. People that know me just call me Tomas.
Cocolo
I may not not know where "cocolo" came from, but what I do know is that today they refer to "cocolo" if a person is black from San Pedro, with English names like ballplayers Manny Alexander,
Manny Lee, George Bell, and basically if they also speak "Ingl? de muelle". San Pedro once had the busiest port in all the land, and runaway slaves and others would find their way to San Pedro as "polisontes" aboard cargo ships.
There was a time when "cocolos" were recognized as very good dancers, and tigueres que "tiran tela", proud to claim "serie 23".
So "cocolos" are black, English-speaking Petromacorisanos.

Cocolo.
Joseito got it all right. To that may I add. Many of these cocolos came through the years from several different island and I knew a few that actually came from Tortola.
Tortola may have permutated to cocola and then cocolo, but is just an assumption.
The area of San Pedro used to be vey colorful and their music was very distinctive. It was not uncommon to listen to groups singing in Papiamento, a dialect of Aruba.

Hey Tom F
Since you have this propensity to call your dogs by the names of stinky things, here's a few names for your future dogs:
"Come Sica"
"Vira mojon"
"Mierda en cajeta"
"Boca 'e Churria"
"Churrioso"
"Peo morao"
'Buena mierda"
"Peo atorao"
As to Jane J: Magistrada? Call it an insult!! Have you seen our magistrates? Their robes are made of cheap satin, the one that wrinkles with the wind. Most of them look like "tributarios".

This will surely tarnish a bit my reputation as "Miami Nice"...and although it's never been directed to me...I think it's hilarious...
I was a passenger in a car being driven by a Dominican guy in Santo Domingo, and I couldn't tell you the amount of times I heard him say to other drivers..."Mama huevo!!!"...
The funny thing is he didn't drive any better than them!

Look we have a lot of Dominican experts, lets see who works on this one
If you think Dominicans have a colorful language, listen to this from Puerto Ricans. Are there any experts that can translate this?
Oye nena, esta es la hora del llegueo, para que comienzes con el sopeteo, no quiero que dejemos de bailotear para que saquemos candela. Seduceme esta noche y vamo a formar un rollo, hasta que siga la movida, y despues de ahi nos vamos pal garete, pa onde tu sabe, pa que me empolle. Vamos a vacilar, que te voy a setear para guayarte en la cama, y entonces si, se formo el chaqueo. No creas que estoy guillao porque ya no te hangeo, pero es que esto esta ca?on, y se esta acabando hasta el mamoteo. Pero tu sabes nena, que a pesar de eso tu me vuelves loco bailando el dembo, y las demas gatas estan espacia, y yo solo quiero mi girla para sobarla y encularla de lo bonito, que bola. Si seguimos este sateo te prometo un buen perreo y nos vamos a trac y pa lante con el sandungeo, porque yo se que tu no eres gata celosa y si tu pone la lavadora yo pongo el hace, y si tu pone el hechizo, yo pongo el chorizo. Si quiero mas dame la ?apa aunque despues se te meta el culebreo, p? lante con el bellaqueo en la disco.
This is from a Regetton song. Can Dominicans top this?

Ok guys...I guess it's the "internet content producer" in me...or the way I always got an "A" in spelling...
I know that most Dominicans would spell it "guevo"...but the correct way is "Huevo" with an h...not a g...
But just to make everyone happy...here it is...to all of you...
"MAMA GUEVO!!!"

to go with mama guevo...venezuelans say "cabeza de guevo"--well, it's slurred so it really sounds like "cabezeguevo"...
I have a great book called "Mas mierda" that breaks down a lot the dirty words in Latin American vernacular today.

I just visited the DR in Nov. and actually liked all the psssst attention that I got from the women, ironically. I certainly heard the men do this more often than the women, but I got a fair share from the women too. It was a refreshing reversal of roles that was well received with a grin. I guess I stood out like a sore thumb, but this just does not happen in the states. So I encourage you to hang out with your friends on the corner and play their games for the fun of it.
