More word variations by country
To all, (Talldrink and NY1)
very nice ...and dangerous but that's why Spanish can be fun (innocently). Glad you are all having fun with these "pajita" variations. How about the word popcorn? Notice how it's different from country to country. Check this out:
cotufa-Venezuela
palomitas- most standard
palomitas de maiz- quite standard
"popcorn"- viene del ingl?s
crispeta- Colombia
ma?z reventado- El Salvador -my favorite of all
?C?mo se dice "popcorn" en la RD? Se me olvid?

We've just run a series of articles on things like this in www.dominicancooking.com
It was also the subject of an article in last week's Diario Libre

Cocalecas are not the term used for "Pacon" or the much more refined "Palomitas", Cocalecas made of puffed candied rice, which was cut into squares and coated with food coloring red, yellow and green, kind of the sweet version of the Quaker's Oats rice cakes in a Dominican Version and size.
cocaleca it is
Pichardo,
As your previous posting on this thread reveals (a po ta bien!....etc ) your PhD is clearly on the Cibae?o language. If you go to la capital (please note that I posted SD not DR) and ask for cocalecas at the movie theater, you will get popcorn, not rice paddies or anything else. Try it next time you leave Santiago to visit SD.

m?s DR slang
Found this web spot with Dominicanismos.
http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Lounge/5797/diccionario.html
Although I doubt that this is the ultimate authority on Dominican language, a quick browse inidicates that it is pretty good. BTW Pichardo, cocaleca is listed here as synonym of popcorn. I lived in Santiago for several years once and I never had a problem getting cocalecas at the cine Doble or any of the others. cheers,

A ver si saben lo que significa.....
Since many of you seem to be on top of your DR slang more than I am may be you can tell me what these three words mean in context:
I heard this once when someone was making a comment about Antony Santos (comparing him to Raulin Rodriguez).
Antony S “es muy aceitoso”- what does that mean?
Es un pribon = what does that mean? I think= “una persona que pretende ser lo que no es". Is that right?
In a song by el bachatero Teodoro Reyes dice= "soy un tolete de hombre"- what is that? (to me it has some “macho” connotations). And "tolete" not in it's literal meaning which is "garrote".
Que me ayuden por favor:
aceitoso=
pribon=
tolete=

I pass on aceitoso's actual meaning as I doubt that it is literally oily, but I suspect sleeky would be a good match.
Pribon is essentially a vain person or a showoff.
Tolete indeed denotes being a brave, tough man of integrity, subtly macho indeed.

Like I said before:
Coleca is not I mean "NOT" Popcorn" in the DR, the use of it in Santo Domingo and as you mentioned herein this thread Santiago and got to get yourself served Popcorn by mentioning "Cocaleca" it's simply because they take it you're trying to ask for "Pacon" as it sounds in many Dominicans or "palomitas", just as the Dominican Yorks took up the "Bodega" for the Grocery store or convenience store as it should be called from the Puerto Ricans in NY, you have taken a misconception and make use of it thinking that all Dominicans call it "Cocalecas", just step up to any "Paletero" if they still are able to get a spot close to a cinema or visit one by the street vendors lined up in the sidewalks and they will quickly hand you a Cocaleca as I described to you wrapped in a plastic bag.
Aceitoso = Snub
Tolete = Macho
Privon = you have it just right
Just Because you're used to get water everytime you say "Ahua" doesn't mean you're getting it right and don't assume it to be the norm.
Well darn...
I'm a gringo just trying to learn Spanish - using Pimsluer - and it is very good. I hope I can just speak intelligently when I go abroad in Spanish speaking countries. I recently went to DR with my friend who speaks Spanish fluently. He also travels all over South America in his job. I don't know if he uses different words in different places, but I doubt it. We were able to get along very well with his Spansih in the DR, althoug I got kind of lonely not being able to converse with the locals who did not speak English. That's why I want to learn so bad.

I'm dominican and yes, the typical "dominican accent" has phrases like "Voy manana de'pue de 'cuela instead of voy manana depues de escuela. When I'm talking to my South American friends I dont modify my accent to fit their taste and neither do they. It's like someone from London, England speaking to someone from Texas, USA. They have completely different accents but still speak the sam language.
