samurai

A rubber flip-flop, notoriously used by parents as a projectile to give their kids a whooping. They are jokingly said to be able to turn corners when thrown to catch a fleeing child. (Samurai is a popular brand of inexpensive rubber sandals in the Dominican Republic).

My dad was an expert at making the samurai turn corners.

samurai

A type of cheap, informal boot similar to desert boots but with a thicker sole. They are generally looked down upon and only worn by those who cannot afford better footwear. (In the Dominican Republic, basic desert boots are colloquially called pisa mierda, or shit-steppers.)

Whoa, look at that, they bought Rolandito a samurai. Hey, keep an eye on my samurai for me. You are crazy, who is going to steal that piece of junk?
