Lapi Verde Puyu
A slang way to wish someone a happy birthday or refer to a birthday celebration. It is a phonetic approximation of the English phrase Happy Birthday to You. Saying someone is de Lapi Verde means it is their birthday. (In the Dominican Republic, the R and L sounds are frequently swapped, making the English word birthday sound like the Spanish word for green, verde).
A: Today is Francisco's Lapi Verde Puyu! B: And how old is he turning? A: Supposedly 24. B: That rat is that old?
