lexico
A filler word or vague term used when the speaker cannot remember the specific name of an object, situation, or person. It functions as a linguistic wildcard that adds no specific meaning but allows the conversation to continue (a common placeholder in Dominican speech).

República DominicanaTrapo
A slang term for clothes or an outfit, whether new or used (literally meaning rag, it is used as a generic term for garments in the Dominican Republic).
Look, I was at the store and bought a couple of Trapo to wear. Maria is wearing the same Trapo Jose's wife had on at the colmadon (a grocery store that doubles as a social hub for drinking). That kid likes to go around naked despite all the Trapo he has.

S
The letter of the alphabet that many Latin American countries, especially the Dominican Republic, do not waste time pronouncing when it is not strictly necessary. It is skipped because it takes too long to say and sounds a bit strange to locals now (Dominican Spanish is characterized by the frequent omission or aspiration of the letter S at the end of syllables).
Maestro becomes Maetro, Muestra becomes Muetra, and Varias Personas becomes Varia pelsona. Conclusion: Dominicans save about 20 hours a year by not saying S and by speaking super fast.
