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).
A surname used colloquially to refer to people from the upper class or high society. It functions as a generic label for the wealthy or elite. (In this context, the surname Perez is often used as the opposite to represent the common man).
I do not think that woman will like me, since she is so Rodriguez and I am so Perez. | I do not like Rodriguez people, I prefer hanging out with the common folk.
Refers to high society or the upper class, specifically people with wealth and social privilege. It is a phonetic adaptation of the English word high.
I wish I had a car like that, but only people from La high have that much money: Margarita married a businessman from La high and moved to Switzerland.
