nariz de fronono - this is supposed to mean a big nose.

"Tú hiedes a chinchilín" - I heard that a lot.

My sister used to insult me (as a child) by calling me "nariz de frononó".

Other than a male goat, what might that mean?

Cabron is second to "Hijo De LA Gran Puta" in terms of taking a knife to someone in a Latin country.

Cabron means that your wife is being banged by another man, you know about and can't or won't do a thing about it because of fear..

In the chat the other day someone called a woman 'bultera' what does that mean, my guess it means someone who likes to hang and be in the middle of things.

btw: I love all the replies...its bringing back memories.....

salteador----cibaeno pronounciation--saiteadoi---- someone please provide translation.

Cabron is a huge insult - in other latin countries, like Puerto Rico and Mexico but its not used much in the DR if i'm not mistaken.

Bultera/o means somebody who attempts and announce that is going to do something and in the end won't do nothing. Also known as "Mucha espuma y poco chocolate".

Another mild insult that I remembered was "arracavaca" it means cow scratcher.
