Even more of an Anglicism in Spain where a car park (parking lot) is el parking. Unusual because Anglicisms are more common in Latin American Spanish.I just thought of another word while posting in another thread.
To park:
Estacionar or Estacionarse
Aparcar
Parquear -anglicism
-MP.

I came across another word for jeans in Cuba but can't remember it. I looked it up and found pitusa (after an old brand name from the 1950s) but still not sure it was the same word I heard.
Pantalones de mezclilla, tejanos and Levis (as in the brand name) are other words for jeans in different parts of the Spanish-speaking world.
Jeans, pronounced 'yeeng'.What is the most common here?
That's interesting, I've always called it la computadora.I wonder if the reason that the noun el computador exists in Latin American Spanish is due to the masculine gender of the noun for computer (el ordenador) used in Spain.

I thought of Mahón/mahonesa but wondered how could they possibly be connected. Azul mahón, makes sense. But I truly have never ever heard that word for jeans in the DR.
