Pincharrata

A fan or supporter of the Estudiantes de La Plata soccer club. Several theories explain the name: the most popular suggests the founders were medical students who experimented on rodents, but the actual origin comes from a famous fan who hung around the train station in the club colors and was known by that nickname (Estudiantes de La Plata is a major soccer club based in the city of La Plata, Argentina).

- The Pincharratas are four-time champions of the Americas and world champions.

Pinchita

A homemade dart or projectile traditionally crafted by children. It is made by bending a bobby pin and sharpening its tip by grinding it against a rough, unplastered wall, then attaching it to the stiff midrib of a coconut palm leaf with a rubber band. It is fired using another rubber band as a launcher. Kids used these to hunt small wildlife or to stick them into trees (in the Dominican Republic, a pincho is a bobby pin).

The Pinchita is one of those old school games you do not really see anymore in Santo Domingo.
