A preppy, trendy rich kid from upscale Santo Domingo neighborhoods like Piantini or Naco. The term specifically describes the 80s and 90s youth subculture that attended elite private schools, hung out at exclusive social clubs, and listened to New Wave music. They looked down on anything they considered low-class, only accepting Juan Luis Guerra as legitimate merengue. They were known for their specific fashion sense, like slicked-back gelled hair and expensive imported clothing. (Piantini, Naco, and Arroyo Hondo are wealthy residential areas; Carol Morgan and Babeque are elite private schools).
Shallow, preppy girls from wealthy families who are always following the latest trends, speak English, and are very attractive (this term refers to a specific youth subculture in the Dominican Republic).
You will find those Jevito girls at universities like PUCMM, UTESA, INTEC, and UNIBE (not all of them are like that).
A trendy or fashionable young person who follows the latest styles and wears expensive clothes. (Popular in the 1980s and early 90s, the term is derived from the English word heavy.)
The jevitos from the neighborhood do not want to work.
A guy who wears preppy or trendy clothes, looks like a sissy at first glance, and is so stuck-up that he is obsessed with himself and thinks he is a total heartthrob. (In the Dominican Republic, this describes a youth subculture from the 80s and 90s characterized by brand-name clothing and a vanity that was often mocked as effeminate).
Ana: Girl, look at that jevito. Rosita: Gross! That guy looks like such a sissy, can you not see how he dresses? All he is missing is the wig. And look at those Elvis Presley style pants, they look like they are going to split what little he has got in two. Ana: Oh my god.
Wealthy kids who are always dressed in the latest trends, typically with side-swept bangs, very fashion-conscious, and often snobbish. (In the Dominican Republic, this refers to a specific subculture of upper-class youth).
Go to any university in the country like UNIBE, La Puca, or INTEC (some Jevito girls). (UNIBE, La Puca, and INTEC are prestigious private universities).
A spoiled rich kid or a poser who thinks he is the man just because he has an iPhone, even if he cannot actually afford a movie ticket. He only wears brand-name clothes and hangs out at luxury malls (like Acropolis in Santo Domingo) using his parents money or doing whatever it takes to look the part.
A jevito schedule: Monday: Dinner at Friday's to celebrate the start of the week. Tuesday: Doing laps at Acropolis mall, I cannot let my fans go a day without seeing me. Wednesday: Time to warm up the engines at Strats or Bakus (nightclubs), wherever I am admired and they do not let in people who are not like me. Friday: Party time. Saturday morning: At APEC (a university in Santo Domingo) with dark shades; it does not matter if it is cloudy, this hangover has not worn off yet. Saturday night: Phone rings, are you coming out? Of course, I am just covering my dark circles with makeup. Sunday 12 PM: Damn sun, go away. Sunday night: Let me touch my books just to move them to a different spot. Sunday 2 AM: What a party, but I have to make a chivo (cheat sheet) for math, though I do not even have the book.
A flashy young man who loves parties, trendy clothes, and cars, but is also a cheapskate who refuses to spend money on drinks. (The term usually refers to a preppy or upper-class youth who focuses on appearances).
A spoiled rich kid who thinks he is hot stuff and wears designer labels. They drive the latest Mercedes and always have the newest iPhone. You will find these types of kids at elite private universities (the schools listed are expensive private institutions in the Dominican Republic). They are known for overusing preppy filler words like 'like,' 'how funny,' 'totally,' and 'cool.'
