Salta P'atra - throwback/primitive
Mañoso - capricious, fussy, picky. Also - mono.

In Spain, mono/a is cute, so it can be confusing when you hear a Dominican using it in a clearly pejorative way. Monería in DR - fussiness. In Spain it means something adorable.

Another one is ñoño/a - to describe a babyish, clingy, whiny child - can also be used for an adult.
