Also, check chulo (nice, attractive) vs chulu (pimp) and bacano = homeboy, "watercress" is really cute, too.

Indiana a question for you, have you ever heard "malpiolo"(male pimp) as well as "malpiola" ?-- I have seen it in the dictionary, but I have never actually heard it being used.
thanks for all the input -- got more?

The word is maipiolo/a - a pimp or someone who sets people up with each other
'ta parao = comiendo con grasa - doing well, has money
bobote - someone who is slow, dumb
funda - bag, can also have other meanings depending on context
cajeta - much like funda, can have multiple meanings depending on context
cacu - accent on the u, someone with a large head
I'm sure that I'll think of more and post them later.

That's it, maipiolo. Thanks.
Ta parao -- so that is what is meant in Pochy's old merengue when he sings, "parao, parao, el hombre llegó parao" or are we talking doble-sentido here?

I ask because it seems funny to me that these are words from your everyday conversations.

If you remember, that song says: "El hombre llego parao porque vino de Nueva York", meaning that the man came back in good standing (with money) because he came from New York.
