more dominicanisms
esa vaina = that thing
una china = una naranja = an orange
una lechosa = a papaya fruit (I think it has a different name in each latin-american country but noone uses the 'papaya' word which has a sexual connotation)
fulano/fulana = someone, like in 'fulano dice que ...= someone said that ...', this is a very strange concept, always sounds to me like they are talking about somebody called Fulano but they aren't, not sure if it's a purely dominican thing.
una 'baja y mama' = 'baja y chupa' en Cuba: men's vocabulary for a women's strapless top shirt

Fulano is used elsewhere. The english equivalent would be "so and so" as in "so and so said this or so and so said that."

Xamaicano,

I'm sure I've heard it used in Spain, by Spaniards. The odds are they were andaluces, not Castillians. 
Fulano, mengano y zutano = Tom, Dick and Harry.

Le dices a las camisetas... Poloché
Le dices a los cereales... Conflé
Le dices a los shorts... Shol o shori
Le dices a los gatos Mishu y a los perros Wawauu
Y las camionetas le dices guagua
Cuando estás en tu país, oyes mucho esto: "se fue la luz!!!!!"
Le dices a una cerveza congelada VESTIDA DE NOVIA O UNA FRIA
Las elecciones, un ciclon o una huelga son motivo de celebracion y tomarse unas vacaciones.
Estas en una guagua de 7 pasajeros y ya son 10 personas adentro y todavía hay alguien afuera gritando "caben má !"
Cómo Eres...
La gente te dice que pares de gritar, cuando en realidad estás hablando
Aplaudes con tus manos cuando te ríes
Puedes bailar y tener swing sin música
Señalas cosas con tu nariz o tu boca
Te bebes Brugal,Presidente, o Mama Juana como si fuera AGUA
Crees que el Vivaporú lo cura todo
En la bodega compras fiao
Cómo te criaron...
Aprendiste a bailar bachata y merengue antes que caminar
Puedes oler una chuleta concinándose en tu casa aunque estés afuera
Te criaron escuchando música de Fernandito Villalona y/o Sergio Vargas
Cuando chiquito le tenías miedo a un tal "cuco"
También te han hecho poner ropa interior para ir a la playa
Tus papás te dieron aceite de bacalao cuando estabas enfermo
Te han bañado con jabón de Cuaba

Thanks...I will go over it in a bit and put in most of the meanings.
It's an e-mail my husband sent me. So I'm just checking with him for some of them so I don't go posting things that aren't true.
If anyone else wants to write in some meanings while I'm waiting for his e-mail back feel free....

My favorite: see leh bee = sealed beam = replacement headlamps for your car
