I was told by a dominican to call and airplane- avion. before I was calling it aeroplano because I had looked that up somewhere.
It's all been said before but we all know that words take on different meanings depending on the emphasis put on them and the way you use them in a sentence.

A friend of me may ask me "Where da hoes at?"
He's not specifically asking me for a location to find prostitutes, but he's asking me where the females are.
In English/slang/ebonics words take on many different meanings depending on how you use them. Especially works like bitch,whore or slut. I think everyone gets the basic idea what the other is talking about and that's really all that matters.

I like this though because I learn a lot about the dominican way of speaking by reading posts like this, I just hope I can remember some of it.

Negro Lindo...

since you're a good sport, here are some Dominican expressions:

"Ay que ooooolla!" Use it when you don't believe some BS story (Cris CCC brought this up earlier).

"Toy en olla"...when you're broke.

"Ay Virgen de la Altagracia!"--pronounced as 'bilgen de la'ltagracia'...when impressed with any situation, especially at the site of an accident.

"y vas a seguir?"--pronounced as 'y ba segu??'...when you're tired of people bothering you.

As long as we are "jodiendo"!

Add this to your list of "Dominican Must Says"!

"Gadejo"!= "Gana De Joder" The need to "Joder" with something!

Not used in the "Carnal Sense",but more like a kid who has to "mess around" with something.Can't keep your hand off of it!

"Tengo gadejo!"CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Thanks for the expressions.

These aren't gonna have me blurting out something totally different from the meaning you've given me are they?

I've seen how people who speak a language like to joke around with someone trying to learn, or fit in by telling them to say something and they end up saying I have three testicles or something like that LOL

I've heard Que Conio used a lot too,,,,,,,
I think it means" what the F***"
is that about right?

I'm still only learning, but it wasn't gringos that I heard say "te cuida", however, I might have mistaken their meaning at the time? I thought be careful was cuidado or ten cuenta.?.

I'm too much of a 'pariguayo' to have you or anybody say something stupid.
But I must warn you: the elite, or golo's bluebloods, do not speak in that manner; only real Dominicans do.


And on the word 'co?o', well it could mean different things, depending on the situation. This has been covered before. There are variations, too.

Here, in incremental order, and with the proper syllable capitalized to give emphasis to the moment:

1. co?o: too many uses, from "que co?o tu miras?" to "esa mujer es m?s fea que'l co?o" and the typical "el co?o 'e tu madre." I suggest you don't use the latter.

2. co?Aso: a bigger 'co?o', especially if you're repeating yourself, as in: "co?aso, eta 'e la ?ltima be que le bo? dec? que se bajen de la cama."

3. CO?ASASASO: loud and clear, and the biggest 'co?o' of them all, the grand slam of 'co?os'--or the grand salami in ESPN, or the mother of all 'co?os' in Saddamish--use it when you've had enough.

WORD...back to the original

I asked a jury of young and older Dominicans about this.
It seems that "puta" , among the younger set, refers to those who are "chivirica" or "relamb?o" either with their own man or any man. They are just a bit over the top with their sexuality, let us say.

"Cuero", on the other hand, is a professional.

As my beloved says:

"?Qui?n es m?s de culpar?
El que peca por la paga o ?l que paga por pecar?"


This is from a poem by Sor Juana In?s de la Cruz...

Guys, I have enjoyed this thread...very funny....

Jane J, figured you might get it, eventually.

I have always wondered why more people don't say "co??n" - like a great, big co?o...

I try not to use the word in regular conversation, as it just doesn't sound natural on...sigh...us gringoes. I will, however, use it mercilessly in imitations of others.

Jose?to, I think you should have also mentioned the root of the word "co?o", for posterity's sake. Stemming from the latin "cunnus", of course, and I'm sure the rest is obvious.

Have you guys ever snorted coffee out your nose? Do you know how that feels? Give me a warning before you do that, Jane and Joseito!

forgive me for being stupid. But can we put some of this in "plain" english.......
I get the idea but I'm still confused a bit.
I can translate most of your phrases Joseito but I'm still not quite clear, send it to me in a PM if neccessary.......

The point is that "co?o" does not lend itself to an easy translation. If you hurt yourself accidentally, say, your elbow with the edge of the table, you might say, "Damn it", well, "co?o" would also be applicable here, but it would be a "co????o."

I like the Fast Co?o, myself.

Like, say, if you nearly burn yourself while cooking? You might say, "Ay! Pipo! Co?o!, but, like, really, really fast. You know?

S?, JOSE?TO, YO AMO A MAO!

Y me ENCANTA jugar diariamente con todos los n?meros y c?digos telef?nicos! JODETEL pa' buen rato.....

(Pero como no soy cuero, I'm glad you think being puta is not so bad.:classic: And may we add un par de pl?tanos to a cuero's daily diet?)


Jane J., I'm glad you got it, girl! Now, when you get this one, (a really bad, filthy one, so brace yourself,) consider yourself Dominican:

'High-class' Cuero #1: "Fo! Que bajo a ?e**!"
'High-class' Cuero #2: "No, loca, esa fui yo que bostez?."


Negro Lindo, the word "co?o!" can be used just like "fuuck!", esp. after hitting your finger with a hammer, or after getting fired. Just don't ever say, "Let's co?o." It'll never work, and it'll send the girl laughing hysterically out of the room.

-Indie
(Patting myself on the back) I know what 'el pipo' is. But my favorite is still 'Co?asasazo', as in "Co?asasazo, que maldito fr?o!"

GOOD EFFORT, JANE J....

Naw Jane J.; methinks you're not quite a Dominican yet, but you're getting there.

The (bad) word is '?ema'. Ask your husband what that is. Better yet, ask him to point it out for you.

The cuero's breath smelled like that, after having had so many in her mouth.

Told you it was bad.............Want more??

See, when you said your joke was *really* dirty, I automatically thought of "?eca", which technically speaking is dirtier than ?ema, is it not? My cuero was way worse than yours because ?eca breath is worse than ?ema breath.

Don't you think?:nervous:
