Automatically translated from Spanish
A Rabandola is an upgraded version of a hoodrat. She has improved her status by getting a smartphone and using her looks to sneak into high-society parties. She is known for her intense swagger when dancing dembow, drinking rum straight from the bottle, and being a social chameleon. To keep men interested, she tries to look informed by checking social media or reading the free paper on the subway. These women are typically promiscuous and highly opportunistic gold-diggers. While the term is used across all social classes, it refers to a trashy mindset rather than a lack of money. The word originally referred to female genitals but is now a derogatory and offensive term for a low-class girl (Blackberry phones were a major status symbol in the Dominican Republic; Plaza Central is a popular mall in Santo Domingo; Diario Libre is a prominent free newspaper).
