keloke
A common informal greeting among Dominican youth, primarily in urban areas. It is a phonetic contraction of the phrase que es lo que es (literally, what is what it is) and functions as a substitute for hello or what is up. It became a staple of the local dialect after 2008 (following the release of the iconic Dominican rap track Capea el Dough). It can also be used to ask for the status or news regarding a specific person or situation.
keloke, what are you doing? Also, to ask about a girl you saw earlier: keloke with the girl from today, haha.
