Colegio Dominico Americano

An elite school in Santo Domingo where the shitty children of corrupt officials go. You are only accepted if you are wealthy; being a good student is not enough if your parents are not among the corrupt elite. While it is a prestigious school, it is known for discriminating against anyone who does not drive a luxury SUV (jeepeta) or live in Naco (an affluent neighborhood in Santo Domingo).

Dominico: You have great grades, but we checked your credit report and your family is poor... Me: You cocksucker!

Gringo

Used to refer to any white foreigner, sometimes as a term of endearment. Local lore traces the name to the phrase Green Go Home, shouted at US soldiers in green uniforms during historical military interventions.

Gringo

The name used for any American, Canadian, or very pale foreigner with a name so strange they can barely pronounce it themselves. Dominicans do not like to struggle with foreign names, so they just say, Hey America, or, Hey Gringo in the floral shirt, come over here. While often mistaken for an insult, it is usually used as a term of endearment, though some people still use it with bad intentions (in Dominican culture, using appearance or origin as a nickname is common and not always negative).

Dominican: What is your name? USA: My name is Mike Wright. Dominican: Say what? Forget it, just tell me what is up Gringo, what is good.
