Cuerpo cortao
How can you explain to someone not from the DR what the hell it feels like to have Cuerpo cortao? It is a feeling where your torso is going one way, your arms weigh a ton, and your legs just do not respond (this term describes the heavy body aches and general malaise felt at the onset of a flu or fever).
Jose: You are still not up yet, are you not going to work today? Teresa: Oh no, I woke up with Cuerpo cortao and I am not getting out of this bed even to eat.
