Braguetazo

Slang for when a poor man marries into a rich family, specifically for the money. The term is gender-specific because it is considered much rarer for a man to marry up than a woman. (The word is derived from bragueta, meaning a trouser fly).

- Juan, tell me, what's up with Ricardo? I haven't seen him in a long time. - Man, you don't even know! That guy DIO UN BRAGUETAZO! - No fucking way! - Yeah! The guy must be in Cap Cana (an exclusive resort destination) right now, with a rum and coke in his right hand and grabbing the rich girl's ass with his left.
