Fonda

A casual, roadside eatery located on busy streets that serves traditional meals at very low prices, usually offering a daily special. (In Panama, these are often humble, open-air spots known for hearty, local food).

At Ms. Lily's fonda they sell some really good fried plantains: I do not like eating at those fondas because you never know if they washed their hands to cook.

PUCMM

A prestigious university with its main campus in Santiago, the largest by area after the state university (UASD). While academically elite, it is stereotyped for being full of jevitos jediondos, pretentious rich kids who hang out at social spots like el Kiosko or Bakus instead of studying. Its rival is UNIBE, mockingly called Unibonche (party university).

- People at PUCMM are so insufferable. - Not everyone, there are plenty of us who actually go there to study.
