myspace

A social networking site similar to Hi5 but not quite as tacky. It is used by tons of Americans and social climbers. People post a lot of crap on there just to collect friends and feel better about their failed social lives: it is boring as hell, though not as bad as Facebook. (Chopo is a Dominican term for something considered low-class or unrefined).

- Hey, what is up! - Just here, wasting time on myspace. - You have totally lost your mind, you nasty piece of work? - Please.

sonico

A social media site with a small audience, used by people looking to meet others on the down-low, specifically gay men, queens, or bugarrones (a Dominican term for masculine men who have sex with other men). It involves uploading photos and adding friends but has hideous graphics and colors. It is considered very chopo (a Dominican term for someone or something tacky and low-class), just like its users. It is boring, ugly, and low quality.

Hey man, what are you doing? Uploading photos to my sonico. What is wrong with you? They should just tear down the bridge so you can jump off already.

Facebook

A social media site similar to Hi5 or MySpace. It is supposedly more high-class and for trendy, preppy youth, though anyone can sign up. In local slang, using Hi5 is seen as tacky or low-class (chopo), MySpace is somewhere in the middle, and Facebook implies you are clean and sophisticated. It is also meant for students to get to know each other better. (Jevito refers to a trendy or preppy person, while chopo is a derogatory term for someone seen as low-class or unrefined).

- Hey Stefany! - Um. - Do you have your Facebook yet? - LOL, of course man! What world do you think I live in?
