Sacate la papa

An expression telling someone to stop talking with a snooty, preppy accent. It refers to the affected way yeyes (wealthy, upper-class Panamanians) speak, which sounds like they have a potato stuck in their mouth.

And sácate esa papa from your mouth, because I did not raise any little yeyesito in this house!

A filler word widely used by the yeye as an equivalent to the English I mean or like. It is often used excessively, serving as a social marker to identify someone who belongs or pretends to belong to a high social class (yeye is a term for wealthy or posh people in Panama).

Osea, but are you going to the party or not?
