Definitions tagged llamar in the street dictionary.

discar

To dial a phone number. The term persists among older generations who grew up with rotary phones, even when using modern button or touch screen devices (the word comes from disco, referring to the physical dial).

Kid, discar the number for me since I do not have my glasses.

Vocia

To shout or yell at someone very loudly. While there is a stereotype that people only shout this way in the rural countryside, bus fare collectors in the city are constantly yelling out routes to attract passengers (in the Dominican Republic, a 'guagua' is a bus, and 'cobradores' are the workers who shout the destinations).

Listen, do not vocee at me, I am right here!
