A brand of mobile phone that became iconic in the Dominican Republic, specifically referring to older, bulky models known for being indestructible. They are joked about as being useful for protection against muggers, stray dogs, or annoying neighborhood kids because they are heavy enough to be used as a blunt weapon or thrown like a brick. (Older Alcatel models were famously sturdy and cheap, leading to this widespread local meme).
A: Dude! Some asshole tried to mug me yesterday! B: Oh? What did you do, did you have your alcatel in hand? A: Damn man, I hit one of them and split him open, that thing is harder than an ice shaver (a heavy metal tool used by street vendors to scrape ice for snow cones). B: Damn, I always carry my alcatel with me.

A catchphrase originating from a famous political advertisement used to express deep disillusionment or a sense of betrayal by one's own group. It literally means they put out my torch (the jacho, or torch, is the symbol of the Dominican Revolutionary Party).
What a shame, comrade... what a shame. You all are splitting the party in a free for all fight while I am out here struggling, you are playing with my feelings, lying, saying one thing today and another tomorrow, deceiving me. ME APAGARON EL JACHO, COMRADE. They put it out on me. Whoever tricks me once is a scoundrel, but if they trick me twice, I am the scoundrel. It hurts to say it, comrade... but we are better off with Leonel!
