How can you explain to someone not from the DR what the hell it feels like to have Cuerpo cortao? It is a feeling where your torso is going one way, your arms weigh a ton, and your legs just do not respond (this term describes the heavy body aches and general malaise felt at the onset of a flu or fever).
Jose: You are still not up yet, are you not going to work today? Teresa: Oh no, I woke up with Cuerpo cortao and I am not getting out of this bed even to eat.

Define it yourselfA woman with coarse or unruly hair that never looks styled, no matter how often she visits the beauty salon. The term literally translates to bobby pin thrower, suggesting her hair is so wiry that clips and pins cannot hold it and simply pop out. (In the Dominican Republic, this is a derogatory term used for hair textures that are resistant to straightening.)
- Why does your girlfriend even go to the salon if she comes out with the same messy hair? - I think it is just to make me waste money, I told her she is a bota pincho and she gave me a hell of a tongue-lashing.
