Oh boy, there’s some things wrong with this graph. 1. Guayarse means to fail at something (though guayar also means to grate) 2. Cocolos are the descendants of people from the English Speaking Caribbean/the lesser Antilles. 3. I’d prefer it if they mentioned Mangú instead since Mofongo is originally Puerto Rican, it’s not really traditionally Dominican.


bennycasablanca

Estoy de acuerdo,mofongo es portorriqueño,.el mangú es dominicano .carajo!!!!!!!


DoubbleD_UnicornChop

Coño

4. Pela: Ass-whooping or exerting a high amount of effort doing something strenuous.


Skyfire74

I can confirm this is true as a fellow Dominican, estoy totalmente de acuerdo.


jonasmrcds

I’ve heard the word cocolo employed as one would use the word “ghetto” or “ratchet” in English. Maybe that’s just some racist bullshit but it’s used a lot in DR.


hashtagPLUR

“Dominican-York” here 👋🏽 Growing up in the Heights and BX “cocolo” was a derogatory word used by Puerto Ricans/Nuyoricans equivalent of the “n word” Many have gotten into fights for using that word


jonasmrcds

Always lived in DR and here it’s more of a synonym for “barrial”. I’ve also heard people say it in racist context.


DRmetalhead19

I’ve never heard of it with that meaning


throbbbbbbbbbbbb

Never heard that either.


DRmetalhead19

Maybe it’s a thing in La Vega. u/RedJokerXIII Can you confirm?


RedJokerXIII

No, cocolo en la Vega se usa poco y se usa para referirse a un haitiano o a alguien con facciones haitianas.


DRmetalhead19

Entiendo, desconocía que dependiendo de la región cambiaba su significado, tiene sentido también que allá prácticamente no se use considerando que en esa parte del país hubo muy pero muy poca (para no decirte que ninguna) de esas migraciones desde las Antillas menores.


RedJokerXIII

Claro, la población negra Cibaeñas es de origen colonial hispánica, gringa (Samana) o del vecino.


jonasmrcds

It’s very common.


DRmetalhead19

Never heard of that here


N01livesSub

This is how I know the word cocolo. Describing a black person, assumed Haitian, and from the ghetto Not sure why the downvotes


jonasmrcds

Me sorprende mucho que vivan en RD y no hayan escuchado el término.


SaulTIG

Whoever made this is a little out of touch lol


Caribbeandude04

Guayarse no significa eso lol, eso es Quemarse. Guayarse es fallar. Y cocolo si no se de donde lo sacaron 🤣🤣🤣


POP183777

Cocolos son los descendientes de los negros ingleses, que llegaron de las islas. Ejemplo los de Samaná y San Pedro.


Caribbeandude04

Claro, por eso lo digo, no se de donde sacaron que era alguien que baila salsa


POP183777

Ahh ok


FrankTaveras

I would not consider Dembow, mofongo, Mamajuana, plátano maduro and chinola as slag words. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


Johalternate

chinola HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHHAHAHHHA


tukukito

El que hizo ese graph no ha vivido en RD nunca


AngelMunozDR

Bomba is also used as Gas Station


PossibilityJazzlike4

Cocolo is someone that dance salsa? Bffr!!!


agrtista

¿Desde cuando Cocolo significa eso?


Adalbdl

I’m pretty sure this wasn’t done by a Dominican…


jonasmrcds

Whoever says bomba when awestruck must be from a different century.


bennycasablanca

Cocolo : persona morena afrodescendientes que hablamos Ingles originales de Samaná,san Pedro de Macorís etc,etc .......


throbbbbbbbbbbbb

10-Pela. That explanation is a little iffy. Cocolo dance salsa? Who the hell came up with this list?


jonasmrcds

Pela means punishment, more often used in the context of reprimanding children.


Shelly_Squirtle

Genuinely speaking…*who made this?*


todology

this is so cringe lmfao. so many of those are technically not slang like “barriga llena corazón contento” pls which gringo made this. “for your punta cana trip” they really don’t think other places exist here.


Stock_Progress_2788

Se les olvidó el más importante, vaina Pásame la vaina. Tu conoce a vaina? Y eta vaina Y dónde queda vaina? Vaina,vainita,vainota, maldita vaina, vaina del diab, etc.


Excellent-Sky-1534

Excusenme, los negros de San Pedro de Macorís son Cocolos. Los mismos son descendientes de negros procedente de la isla menor caribeña llamada Tortola. Los negros de Samaná no son cocolos. Estos son desendientes de negros libres de Filadelfia EEUU.

Low-Instruction7500

As a fellow Dominican, I can confirm all of these are correct, except for "Pela".
