chercha

A Dominican adaptation of the English word church. Since African-American religious services during the U.S. occupation featured singing and dancing, the term became slang for a small party, casual hangout, or a joyful gathering (refers to the U.S. military occupation of the Dominican Republic from 1916 to 1924).

There is going to be a chercha at Tavito's place tonight.

Cocinao

A casual get-together with friends to cook a simple meal, like mixed rice or dumplings. A cocinao is usually fueled by beer or rum to get the vibe going. (Locrio is a Dominican seasoned rice dish and domplin refers to boiled flour dumplings).

Hey guys, we are having a cocinao at Maria's house for the end of classes. We are making dumplings, so everyone wait before leaving so you can each bring something.
