Definitions tagged fly in the street dictionary.

Aflaisao

Describes an object thrown or hit with a high, looping arc instead of a direct path. The term is a local adaptation of the English baseball term fly, as in a fly ball (baseball is the most popular sport in the Dominican Republic and heavily influences the local dialect).

Cucaracha

A nasty insect found in every home, in cupboards, bathrooms, and pipes. They are harmless but terrify some people (especially me!), even more so when they fly because you never know where they will land. The best way to kill them is to spray insecticide, close the door, and let them suffocate. Stepping on them is not recommended because the crunching sound is disgusting.

They love being in damp places.
