I am afraid I desagree with you here, Hillbilly. It is true that education is not a big priority in the D.R and that there are a lot of uneducated people here. Nevertheless, I don't think that just because someone uses the word Mamasota, this person has little education. Take for example, Hipolito Mejia, He uses many "slang" words in his speeches. Is he not educated? No, He is just a dominican and proud to be so. Yes, Leonel Fernandez (former president) and other make fun of the way he speaks, but he chooses to speak that way.
I think the word mamasota is used for many reasons. One, you are trying to flatter a woman by implying that she is really beautiful and you really, really like her and want her. Second, you could be specifically referring that she has a great voluptous body, which no woman will probably be offended, specially if it is his boyfriend who called her that. I really don't see a woman getting ****ed off over this, unless she is not dominican, or even from the caribbean or just don't know the culture.
My humble opinion, GN
