A total shit-hole of a school, they talk big even though they have no money. It is a poor school that tries to seem decent. They claim to have an incredible vision for their students, but only a sucker would believe those lies. It is just a nasty, fly-infested dump that supposedly wants to better itself. (Refers to a specific low-budget private school in the Dominican Republic mocked for its poor conditions despite its name).
Tacky, low-class people, right?
Automatically translated from Spanish
The acronym for the university with the most chopos (tacky or low-class people) around, because they are broke and do not have the cash for private colleges like UNIBE, INTEC, PUCMM, UTESA, or UNPHU. It is a massive struggle, it is scorching hot, and you have to learn how to run in case a riot breaks out. (UASD is the main public university in the Dominican Republic).
Man, it is so hot at the UASD.

A Dominican baseball team notorious for having the most low-class, cowardly, and big-mouthed fans in the Caribbean. They are viewed as country hicks who speak with a distinct regional accent (replacing the letters r and l with i) and pretend to be big-city types, despite living in such a remote hole that they have to walk out to the Duarte Highway just to get a signal to pray. (The team is based in Santiago, the heart of the Cibao region, which maintains a fierce rivalry with the capital, Santo Domingo).
The capital is the capital, the rest is just woods and snakes.

The public university where all the riff-raff of the country studies because they don't have the cash to pay for private schools like UNIBE or PUCMM. To graduate, you will have to spend at least two presidential terms there, you will struggle like hell, and the heat is brutal. (UASD refers to the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, the main public university in the Dominican Republic).
Julian: Bro, which university did you sign up for? Jose: Duh, at the UASD. Bruno: Let's go Julian, don't hang out with the riff-raff.

Automatically translated from Spanish
A school full of snobs but also cool people. There are a ton of tacky, low-class people this year, especially the ones from Santo Tomas (another school in Santo Domingo). There are almost no hot guys in the whole school, which is massive, way too big to walk across in one day. There are only about five guys worth looking at. There are lots of pretty girls. The veteran students at Colegio Santo Domingo are super cool. Almost everyone either sings or dances, and I mean everyone, but they are actually good at it.
a: Are you at Colegio Santo Domingo? b: Yeah dude. a: Cool, so what can you do? b: Nothing... I just dance and sing now, that is all. a: Cool, and the girls? b: They are hot... but there are a bunch of crickets (ugly girls) too.

Automatically translated from Spanish
A system of government based on being chopo (a derogatory Dominican term for someone perceived as low class, vulgar, or uncultured). Hierarchical positions are earned through the worst human qualities, prioritizing anti-values, lack of education, and incompetence over merit. Chopocracia is linked to a parasitic state where officials are chosen based on campaign contributions or favors owed to sponsors, paid for with state resources. It perpetuates ignorance and poverty to secure votes from an electorate that is kept from choosing better leaders. In this context, chopo represents a lack of scruples and dignity.
The Dominican congress, the Dominican military, the PRD and PLD political parties, and the PLD deputy who physically attacked a congressional employee are examples of Chopocracia.
