Definitions tagged platiquito in the street dictionary.

Plastiquito

A snobbish or superficial person who acts superior based on their social circle or by putting on airs. They often look down on their own culture while imitating American or wealthy foreign stereotypes. The term describes someone who focuses on appearances and the latest fashion trends to mask insecurities, but it can also simply refer to a wealthy youth who is easily influenced by media and status.

First of all, this is just a stereotype: it is not that people who seem like a Plastiquito do not have good qualities we can learn from, so let us respect each individual.

Jevito

A guy who wears preppy or trendy clothes, looks like a sissy at first glance, and is so stuck-up that he is obsessed with himself and thinks he is a total heartthrob. (In the Dominican Republic, this describes a youth subculture from the 80s and 90s characterized by brand-name clothing and a vanity that was often mocked as effeminate).

Ana: Girl, look at that jevito. Rosita: Gross! That guy looks like such a sissy, can you not see how he dresses? All he is missing is the wig. And look at those Elvis Presley style pants, they look like they are going to split what little he has got in two. Ana: Oh my god.
