semillero
A shantytown or slum where low-income people live. It is typically comprised of shacks made from corrugated zinc and various scrap materials. Though occasionally built with sturdier wood or cement, these settlements are often destroyed during hurricane season, only to be rebuilt almost immediately (the term literally means seedbed, referring to how quickly these houses sprout back up).
Damn Juan, you live in that semillero? Holy shit, that is rough!
