That piroba is going to pay for stealing my boyfriend!
A promiscuous woman who enjoys sex to the max, is down for anything, and doesn't care what people think, provided that emotions are kept out of the bedroom (in Dominican slang, vagabunda refers to a wild or promiscuous lifestyle rather than being homeless).

A Dominican urban singer who became a viral sensation with songs like Cocoro and Dame Leche. La Delfi was an openly queer and transgender performer whose music was overtly sexual, crude, and campy. With songs like Toy Moja and La Banana, their career was defined by provocative and often low-brow humor. They were known for the catchphrase La mas perra, the baddest bitch. (Note: La Delfi was a polarizing figure in the Dominican Republic, providing a rare and highly visible queer presence in the local urban music scene).

A vulgar, derogatory term for a young woman who sleeps with many different men, literally meaning semen-mixer.

And you? You ligaleche who lives for fucking anyone and everyone. Ruth? But Ruth? Are you really talking to me about Ruth? That girl is just a ligaleche, they caught her fucking seven guys at the UASD (the main public university in the Dominican Republic) one after the other, that trashy bitch.
A shameless woman who pursues committed or married men without embarrassment. Also used as a vulgar insult for a cheap prostitute or a slut. (The term is a Spanish spelling of the Brazilian Portuguese quenga, which refers to a prostitute or a home-wrecker).

She will drain you when she is on top, even if you think you are the big shot in control.
Man, my girlfriend is a perrona. Damn, I love it when she gets wild!
