Automatically translated from Spanish
A person who constantly screws up or has no clue what they are doing. Dominicans might vulgarly describe such a person as someone who eats their own boogers, a phrase used to call someone a clueless idiot or a mouth-breather. It is commonly used to insult someone who lacks skill in games or sports. Variations include Bataterop or Batata-San. (The term derives from batata, meaning sweet potato, which in local slang refers to being clumsy or relying on dumb luck).
In dominoes: Damn! batatero, you blocked my move, you were supposed to play your double. In baseball: You big batatero! If you saw that was a curveball, why did you swing at it!
