Hey haven't you heard about the uses of "Diablo"? How it can have a positive meaning (mas buena que el Diablo), but also the opposite (mas mala que el Diablo).
Two words come to mind...
ahorita and manana.
ahora being now and ahorita being a little later....subject to correction by our linguists here.
Manana.....tomorrow.....except in the DR....I swear it means.....just not today.....and its repeated again.....tomorrow.

Okay, I think we can summarize. Similar to the phenomenon of using a word w/a negative definition/connotation to mean/imply something positive, e.g., you're bad or bad@ss can mean your actually good, you're "the bomb" can mean you are the ultimate, you're a beast can mean you're good at something, and in Spanish, eres una bestia (beast) means again, that you're good at something (usually athletic), Verdugo's formal definition is executioner, tyrant, and various other negative variations, but in common Dominican speak it means your good at something and other positive variations.
Note: The positive meanings of verdugo are not exclusive to the DR. I first heard utterances in the streets of Spanish Harlem and the South Bronx, neighborhoods that comprise as predominantly PR. I wouldn't be surprised if the same held true in common Cuban speak. We can also see from above examples that using negatives to connote positives is not culture or language specific.
