Question Dominican Slang Questions

Here's a few words I've heard lately --

Chin -- Tengo un chin de arroz.

At first I thought this meant I've got a lot but then I heard it means I've got a little -- which is it?

Chevre -- Ay, que chevre.

I think this means cool but I'm curious where it came from.

Chulo -- Ay, que chulo.

It's the same as chevre, right?

Maldito means damned, as in maldito trafico or maldito hombre

How bad is this word, can a female use it (on occasion) without getting too many raised eyebrows?

OK -- that's all I can think of right now although there are tons and tons more that I hear everyday. I'd love to hear other people's favorite dominican slang -- I'm trying to spice up my Mexican Spanish..
