A filler word used at the end of a sentence as a tag question to ensure the listener understood the message. It functions like saying you hear? or you get me? in English.
A: See you tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. sharp, oíste? B: Yeah, sounds good, no problem.
A person who beats around the bush, hesitates, or stalls instead of getting to the point or taking action. It refers to someone who overcomplicates simple matters or circles a topic without being direct.
Come on, vueltero! Finish the story already, you are boring us with all this stalling. What happened in the end?
Someone who butts into other people's conversations. The term refers to how the person gets hooked like a fish into a discussion that does not involve them.
- What is happening is... (interruption) - And why are you jumping in, pescado?
To gossip or share details about other people's private lives. It is also used when asking someone to spill the tea or give a full report on a specific event.
Tell me how the birthday party went later, chusmeame.
To return a phone call. This is a common anglicism (a literal translation of the English phrase to call back used in the Dominican Republic instead of the standard Spanish term).
