Conjuntivitis
An eye infection that causes redness and tearing. In the Dominican Republic, it is socially stigmatized as a tacky or low-class condition, though it affects people of all social backgrounds. (The term chopa implies something is low-class or associated with the urban poor).
Speaker 1: Dude, don't get too close to me, I have Conjuntivitis, you don't want this disease, my eyes itch a lot. Speaker 2: Oh, now I know why you have those sunglasses on 24/7. Oh no! I just shook your hand a bit ago, let me wash my hands so I don't catch that stuff.
