A person who lacks basic spelling or writing skills. (This term is an ironic misspelling of imbécil, which means idiot, used to mock someone's poor grammar by intentionally using a spelling error.)
A nickname based on a notorious criminal from San Juan de la Maguana who allegedly killed a man and ate his organs in 2011. In Dominican slang, the name is used to describe an extremely dangerous tough guy or a cold-blooded fighter who is willing to kill or commit savage acts of violence. (The name refers to a real-life fugitive known as the butcher of Arroyo Cano.)
Roberto: Look Juan! Don't get fresh with me or I'll beat you up, stab you, and then eat you alive! Juan: Oh, so you think you are Petete? Whatever you say, tough guy!
A private school located in a prime area of the Dominican Republic where the trendiest and most elite students study. It is divided into several social cliques: fresitas (preppy, snobby girls who tell others to 'get a map and find yourself'), cueros (promiscuous people who hook up with anyone regardless of their relationship status), vakanos (cool, normal kids who are often treated like low-class 'chopos' out of envy), arratraos (rich kids who pretend to be poor even though they have plenty of money), and privones (arrogant snobs who think they are better than everyone else). The staff includes several well-known teachers like Pulinario, Manzueta, and Polanco who are notorious for giving homework on weekends. (The name Mi Colegio is the literal name of a specific private school in Santo Domingo).
- Laura, where do you go to school? - At Mi Colegio. - Yeah, but which one? What is the name of your school? - Mi Colegio. - Oh, I see. Watch out, don't become a slut like all the girls there. - Don't worry, I would not stoop that low. I mean, get real!
Yeah, of course it stays put or stands up, you dummy. How do you not get it, you moron? (Note: The source text uses Chilean slang terms like po, pavo, and cachay, despite being labeled Mexican).
To handle a task with total ease or do something effortlessly without any struggle. (Chiclets are a popular brand of chewing gum, suggesting the task is as easy to handle as a small piece of candy).
A phonetic imitation of the English phrase come on, used by children when playing with toy guns (commonly heard on Three Kings Day, January 6th, the traditional gift-giving holiday in the Dominican Republic).
