Derived from the fake Latin Ladronasous (big thief), this is a peculiar character in Santo Domingo who talks nonsense, collects a salary for a ghost job (botellas), buys luxury SUVs (jeepetas), pays off their bootlickers (tumba polvo), and maintains a couple of mistresses. They can be found in positions like deputy, mayor, senator, police colonel, Catholic Cardinal, or President. (Botella refers to a person on a government payroll who does no work; jeepeta is a high-end SUV; tumba polvo is a sycophant).
