Are you talking about John Dulles, the expat living off the land in Rancho Arriba? The guy locals call affectionately Guan Dules?

I think you mean Guandules or Guandul. English translation is Pigeon peas. Puerto Ricans say Gandules and Dominicans say Guandules.

Not sure if you mean "gandul". This is "lazy" in English.

"Juan es un gandul y no se quiere levantar temprano"

Did someone call you "gandul"?
