This proverb means a person's nature or character is permanent and impossible to change, similar to saying a leopard cannot change its spots. It implies that if someone is born with a certain character, no amount of correction or discipline will fix it. The word barrigon is sometimes replaced with maruton, which refers to the navel. (The literal imagery refers to the practice of wrapping a baby's abdomen in a sash to shape the body or prevent a protruding navel).
That kid is never going to change, el que nace barrigon, ni que lo fajen chiquito. And the mom thinks he is an angel and it is just a phase, but el que nace barrigon ni que lo fajen chiquito.

1. Suck my dick you stupid mardito. 2. Get out of here mardito. 3. Mardito piece of shit bastard.

Define it yourselfA term used to describe getting the absolute best result, profit, or enjoyment out of any situation. It implies successfully obtaining or experiencing something top-tier, essentially hitting the jackpot in terms of fun or quality. (In Costa Rican slang, while yuca is a common root vegetable, this phrase describes someone who lucks into the best part of a deal or situation).
Once at the Puntarenas carnivals, a mae who had been drinking guaro all day got the munchies late in the afternoon. The mae was flat broke, so he started scrounging and gathered fifteen hundred cañas to buy a vigoron (a dish of yuca and pork rinds); by the way, the vigoron cost a rojo. He gets to the lady and asks for extra pork rinds, telling her: put 500 more on there. They give him the vigoron loaded with pork rinds and on his second step, he trips and faceplants, landing flat on his stomach while the vigoron scatters all over the street. Just as the tapis is recovering from that massive wipeout, a dog shows up to scarf down... (what do you think he was going to eat? the cabbage?) the pork rinds, of course, and he come yuca.
