Definitions tagged plagio in the street dictionary.

Fusilar

To rip off or adapt a song into a different genre, usually a Latin one, often without the original artist's consent. While similar to doing a cover, it carries a connotation of being unoriginal. (In the Dominican Republic, this is frequently used when salsa or merengue artists remake romantic ballads).

Repullazo

A shameless rip-off or blatant act of plagiarism in art and design competitions, where someone tries to pass off an existing work as their own original creation. (The term refers to designer Juan Repullés, who notoriously won the 1977 contest for the Spanish government logo by submitting a design nearly identical to the one used by the German government).

Like every year, the town poster contest will be won by a Repullazo.
