Te cortaste
Slang used when someone steps in or sits on shit. When the smell is piercingly bad, people add a sharp object to the phrase to describe the stench, such as saying you cut yourself with a scalpel. It usually refers to stepping in the mess left by a viralata (a Dominican street dog, literally a can-tipper). It also applies to unknowingly sitting on a public bench where a dog has pooped, leaving you walking around with shit on your clothes.
It is recommended to do the following: 1. If you have a Te cortaste moment, stop at the first Payless you see to buy new shoes. With cholera in the country, it is not good to keep a shoe that is cut. What if a little cousin licks that shoe just to mess with you? Bad news. 2. If you do not want to throw the shoe away, simple. Find a shoeshine boy. Note: in Maquiteria (a neighborhood in Santo Domingo) they charge more, up to 50 pesos, to get the shit off the shoe, depending on the brand and the stank. Juan: Damn, it smells like horse shit. Joan: Yeah, I smell it too. Maybe it was you. Juan: Look, lift your foot. Joan: (looks down) me corté!! Juan: And with an English glass (a phrase used for very sharp objects or smells) too, toss that crap. Joan: Wait, turn around. Juan: What is it? Joan: Damn, you Te cortaste.
