Let's learn some Dominican

Given that I featured some classic Dominican language in my previous post (i.e., beginning every sentence with a nonsensical "ah po'", etc.), I figured I'd give y'all a lesson in some of the more entertaining aspects of the language (note that since it bears almost no resemblance to the Spanish I learned nor that which I've heard spoken even by Dominican Americans, I call it Dominican)

Today we'll start with words that have been kidnapped from English and subsequently, brutally beaten, chewed up, and spit out.

Examples:

(By the way, I'm expecting you to look at these words and recognize them immediately. If you're that dense, the answers come at the end.)

konflé - What you eat for breakfast. It's crunchy, kinda bland, and gets really soggy if you pour enough milk in the bowl.

boche - What you say when you just simply can't believe what someone is telling you.

poloché - What uppercrust young Dominican men wear to school.

kolín - It can chop your hand off if you're not careful cracking open that coconut.

jilé - Men use it on their faces, women on their legs and armpits (or not, if they're European).

jipeta - It's obnoxious and unsustainable, but very necessary for getting around a country that, let's be honest, kinda sucks at paving its streets.

baguada - It causes you to get wet by standing outside, possibly electrocuted if you're lucky.

safakón - You put things you don't want inside it. Sadly, many people here miss the mark because such unwanted items often end up on the sidewalks instead.

frise - It keeps things cold.

pire - Great for baking things.

And, last but not least:

vivaporú - A mentholated miracle cure. Perfect for Montezuma's Revenge.

Answers: cereal (Corn Flakes), bullshit, polo shirt, machete (Collins, a historically grand knifemaking firm from New England), razor (Gillette), jeep (or SUV), thunderstorm ("bad weather"), garbage can ("safety can"), freezer, baking dish (Pyrex), Vick's Vapor Rub
