" and am I mistaken to understand that being tigueroso is a desirable quality? Although, now that I think about it, my dominican friends claim to be keeping me clear of tigueres."
It's "tigueraso", it basically means being street smart, or having street wisdom. It can have both positive and negative connotations. i.e. if you are a gringo and someone calls you a "tigueraso" or says that you are "mas tigre que nosotros", it's a good thing, usually means you know the low-down, and cannot be screwed around. On the other hand, when your friends say that they are keeping you clear of tigueres, they are talking about bad company that would screw you. So it can be a desired quality depending how you look at it.
