MECANICUCHO
A derogatory term for a hack mechanic in the Dominican Republic who pokes around cars but never fixes the actual problem because he is just a part-swapper. He lies constantly, usually breaking more parts than he repairs because he has no clue what he is doing. He is famously arrogant despite his ignorance and typically wears oversized white sneakers. Most are self-taught, having started as shop assistants in informal backyard garages, and if you are not careful, he will completely screw you over.
The MECANICUCHO says: Brother, uh, look, this car has a little problem. The client: But that is why I brought it to you, brother, what is wrong with it? The MECANICUCHO: A little round black thingy burned out, the one that goes under a red square piece.
