Culiso
In Panama, Culiso is derived from the term coolie, which referred to Asian laborers during the 19th and 20th centuries. Historically, it was used to describe people with dark skin and straight hair. Younger generations now use it more broadly and often without negative connotations to refer to people with tan or olive skin, regardless of hair texture. (The term has evolved from a specific racial label to a general physical descriptor or nickname).
That Culiso is looking even hotter now that she got her hair done in that straight style!
