Naturally, everyone likes to feel comfortable in their own surrondings, thus it is very common to see people from other Countries hold dearly to their native cultural eblems - music, food and vocabulary being the most common. I think a lot of times there is this inner tug-o-war because part of the person WANTS to adjust so as to have the best experience, learn and able to fully take advantage of the opportunity it is to be in a Country with more opportunity, but on the other hand part of them does NOT want to adjust as much because that inherently means acquiring a certain new psuedo identity. It reminds me of my Aunt, she has a New Orleans accents just as thick now as it was then. She has been living in Georgia for the last 20+ years, but she is still 100% New Orleans. With some people its easier to maintain that level of self-identity without compromising it in the process of adjustment. With others however, it is not that easy. They go back 'home' (whever that might be) and find that as much as they tried to not change, things have changed anyway. Additionally, many people experience a certain level of jealously -based rejection. A friend of mine from Durango (Mexico) tells me that very often the Mexicans that go back home after spending a few years in America are given a type of social punishment as it were. They are mocked for the way the talk and act and dress etc. Most of the time it is simply a manifestation of envy. Thats probably the worst thing about it all, not feeling accepted in a new place once you leave 'home', and then not feeling accepted when you go BACK home. smh. Here you go again, Afro-Latino, now subliminally pushing your Haitian-centric agenda.  Ok mire jovencito, 1) My comments were not in whole nor in part addressed at your or ANYTHING you EVER HAVE said or ever will say in history. Interesting how you are so 'observant' and yet you clearly missed the part where I was directing my comments at GUILLERMONE. 2) I could careless who are what you think I am, so I won't even entertain that feeble attempt at mockery. 3) Lastly, there is NOTHING in what I said even remotely about Haitians, not ever barely. I was talking about the same exact thing the Guillermone mentioned previously - the struggle of adjusting to another culture while trying to hold on to the original one. I then (to even further direct the audience to my point) gave an example of my Aunt who is from NEW ORLEANS, which is not (just in case you did not know) not in nor a part of the Dominican Republic or Haiti. YOU see in my statements some 'Haitian-centric agenda' because YOU are obsessed, possessed and stressed about anything you deem as Haitian-esque because YOU have an issue with it. You can't have even the simplest conversation without chiming in with your undercutting 'I can't stand Haitians, I just don't really want to say it out loud so as to not look like a bigot' banter. Unfortunately for you, you have ALREADY said enough on the issue to clearly establish where you stand and how you really feel. "I used a new word today that might come in handy for our "not so friendly" neighbors, that sink so low in the insult scale. Ambulatory defecators, or AMDEFS for short." (smiley faces) - generoso So yea, please spare me 'Mr. I'm so astute and observant that I see no need to observe the bias comments spewing from my own jabbering jaws'. You claim to see to right through what I write and discern it as some pro-Haitian agenda, but guess what?? I don't even HAVE to 'discern' what you say, its right there in black and white (no pun intended) for anyone to see. Generoso is not a hypocrite like many in this forum who want to satisfy even the anti-Dominicans so while you hide under false pretenses he says things directly. No matter how much you have tried to paint yourself as unbiased it is an absolute failure and even being from French New Orleans and of African ancestry makes you automatically biased owards Haitians .

It is sh*t like that , that makes me feel ashamed of my dominican heritage.  I cannot imagine working for 30 yrs in a bodega for long hrs and save $$$ to retire, just to lose it all because of kneiving crooks that you thought were your friends stabs you in the back.Thanks Perez, but unfortunately, like Gen previously stated this is not new or unique to my Brother's in-laws, that story I have heard dozens of times over. Many Dominicans have a dream to return home to our roots, the place of birth where you rightfully belong. Sadly, after many years of absence, things have changed and they return to a world that is no longer there. What they left behind decades ago has evolved, changed into something new and totally different. Today they are strangers in their own land. Friends and relatives have died or moved away. Old businesses once patronized have closed down, disappeared or sold to new owners. The old neighborhood is not what it use to be, new people have moved in and all but a few are unknown strangers in a land we all once knew. This is the problem with many expats, they can only recall was is fixed in their memory of a country that once existed but is no longer there and operate on the basis of how things were done in the past, loyalty and mutual trust. But that is long gone, and remain as history of a bygone era. Sadly, when they awaken to and realize what has happened, that is probably when it is too late already. Very well portrayed Guillermone, very well narrated.  Thanks GEN, you are so kind. Nevertheless, as always, your input honors me. But yes, it was easy for me to tell the story, because I have seen it with my own eyes, relatives that left many years ago, who wish to return, but really have nothing to go back to other then the nice homes they built and cars sent and we all know life is more to it then that. They find themselves alone in the DR, while back in the US n ew roots have sprouted. They are surrounded by the closest and dearest of friends, love ones, children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews who were all mostly born and raised in the states. I have aunts and uncles, including my parents, who flew out of Punta Caucedo airport when the capital was still called Ciudad Trujillo. Most left under the dictatorship and swore never to return ever again. Some kept that promise but those who did not, found themselves out of place. Interesting though, they even speak a Dominican Spanish straight out of the 1950's with many words that have fallen out of use, no longer familiar to the new generation of Dominicans. This is called growing apart, with the high likelyhood of an eventual permanet separation as unfortunately inevitable. I would be interested to hear those words that have fallen out of use. I remember the frio-frio, and the "palitos", chochueca, algarroba, mori-vivi, gofio, and the daily chants of the "manicero".  Wow..... now that is gonna be a tough one. I know the words when I hear them, but don't really remember. Nevertheless, I will make an effort, including the ones you mentioned above, I can recall some that my parents use every now and then. To say good bye, "abur-abur" or to describe an out of sync, kind of badly dressed, clumsy, nerdy looking person, "sarataco." An enebriated person-"ajumao or tenia un jumo", to be upset-"enculiyao," or "tenia un pique," a crazy person, "aloquetia," "casabe con mumba" for casabe bread with peanut butter, "ese macho es un martillo" to mean a very attractive, masculine male and finally "tingola" to mean a knock on the adams apple. I know some of the phrases mentioned are still in use, but I hardly hear them anymore other then from older Dominicans. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to gather words that were once common in the vernacular of the people but for some reason lost grace and disappeared from every day use.  I remember some more, "pepillito"- handsome, gallinota- good looking female, maipiolo- pimp, manoplazo, hitting with open hand, culillo ó frio- sports player nervousness, and of course "cuero de cortina"-mistress, arroz con mango- a mess, mal de ojo- jinx.  How about this one: Por El Pichirri----having someone by the balls If I am not mistaken "lo tengo agarao por el pichirri" is a regional, deep country Cibaeno expression not commonly used in other parts of the DR. Another one I believe is also of exclusive use in the Cibao is: "Hay Pipo!" to express surprise. You are correct Guillermone, remember that Pupu Hipoloco is from Gurabo, in the outskirts of Santiago. I would add to that an "Hay Fó!, which means "he stinks" Very sad indeed Guillermone, but even if im wasn;t born in the 50's era, I still have great memories of things from the past that I still yearn. God bless you and your family for being humble and true to their roots. Shi-at, the new geenration have no idea of how things were back then (as far as i can remember 80's to 90's) when things were still innocent and forgiving. T-T. Hey! btw, thank you guys for mentioning words from the past. My mom once in a while says abur-abur as well! =). I say El Pipo! when surprised too!!. Finally the word Pichirri sounds very funny! |

No matter how much you have tried to paint yourself as unbiased it is an absolute failure and even being from French New Orleans and of African ancestry makes you automatically biased owards Haitians . So saying things 'directly' albeit it CLEARLY offensive and disrespectful is honorable?? Uh, ok. I have not tried to paint anything, I convey the exact same message, mentality and reasonableness that I have had from day one. Of course my stance has not made me many fans on this site, but I did not come here to make friends, I already have a social life. Furthermore, PLEASE explain to me, how where my family is from AUTOMATICALLY makes me biased towards Haitians. If it simply some unavoidable bias simply BECAUSE my family is from a particular place, then would not that SAME principle apply to others, you included?? In other words your saying because my family is from Louisiana and (what you assume to be) African ancestry that AUTOMATICALLY makes me biased towards Haitians?? If this is correct, then would not that ALSO make YOU biased towards Dominicans based on your logic and reasoning?? In fact based on THAT reasoning, you would be even MORE biased than I am, since I am NOT from Haiti, nor do I have any Haitian relatives. Yet you are Dominican and your relatives (I presume) are as well. So, based on your OWN logic, you would by default be JUST AS BIASED as I am, and likely even more so. So to simplify, you unintenionally just admitted that you are in fact biased towards Dominicans, that, by extension also makes your views and comments towards Haitians by nature, skewed, unfair and slanted. If your theory is true that would make both yours and my commetns of the exact same value - 0, since they are both (according to YOUR reasoning) biased. However, if your theory is false (needless to say it is just that) it would make your comments appear VERY presumptious, predisposed and somewhat ignorant. Either way your throwing water at the Ocean. On a somewhat related note, you should not assume so matter-of-factly. I NEVER said myself nor my Aunt for that matter where from 'French New Orleans'. For your information, there is no place called 'French New Orleans' in nor around New Orleans. There IS however a place called the French Quarters, but that is simply a physical location comprised of a few streets, famous buildings and eateries. But it is by NO means a cultural preserve of pure French speaking people or anything of the sort. My people are from New Orleans 9TH WARD, parts of NorthWest Louisiana and the Pearl River Bayou areas. You see, your bias is rather obvious, because instead of being reasonable and balanced your predisposed disposition towards me, has subconciously forced you to make assumptions in order to categorize me in a way that is consistent with your own self-authored claims. You AUTOMATICALLY (you SO should have used another word) try to connect me to 'French New Orleans' because in your already inclined mind, that is the 'intellectual glue' that connects me to the French language/culture and ultimately connects me to Haiti. Unfortunately for you, that assumption is not reflective of truth and reality. But, that is all YOUR own doing. I have not ONCE, EVER, said anything about me or my people speaking French of any sort. Ironically, I speak Spanish, not French. But, If you took the time to learn about New Orleans or Louisiana in general, you would clearly and quickly see that - 1) there are a plethora of people like the Bautiste, Claiborne, Babineaux, Trudeau, Leboeuf, Boudreaux etc etc who although having French last names are no more French than French fries. 2) The French creole spoken in Louisiana is NOT the same as the Haitian creole spoken in Haiti. 3) If my African ancestry (according to you) makes me bias 'automatically' the please expound on what effect that genetic phenomenon has on Dominicans?? After all the vast majority are comprised of mixed ancestry (white 16%, black 11%, mixed 73%) - that mixed portion being mainly Black (ie of African Ancestry) and White. You see, either way you go, what you said towards me is actually the foundation of a VERY large discrepancy that requires your tending to. Entonces, te espero...mientras tanto boy a llamar toda la gente de 'French New Orleans'.............pero que cosa tan raro.....nadie me coge el telefono..

See Afro-Latino (Bernard), I respect Haitians, and I have many good friends that are Haitian. And they are not ashamed to be Haitians, they are even very proud. I understand and speak creole, and have been to Haiti many times. I have visited the magnificent Citadelle, been to Cape Haitian, Leogane, danced with the RaRa, eaten rice with black mushrooms, or jon jon, watched real voo do ceremonies, spent time in Petionville, La Boule and Kenscoff and spent many happy days at the now defunct Habitacion Leclerc and The Oloffson. So let's get that out of the way.I dislike Haiti's policy of exporting their poor and unemployed to DR, and want those Haitians sent back, because I love my DR more that I like Haiti. The thing that bothers most of us about you, and I am speaking in plural, is that you try to fool us and misrepresent yourself to us, "Tan Bella Mami", another one of your personalities. Correct me if I am wrong please: You are the son of a Jewish immigrant to Haiti and your mother is probably Haitian or maybe even Dominican, according to some of the stories you fed us before. I have no problem with all that.  I do have a problem with somebody trying to fool me more than once.  Edited on 7/10/2011 11:03 PM by generoso. I am strong, able and calm. |

Pichirri is a very Dominican word( made famous by hipolito), my mothers family is from barahona and that is the only way to name that part of the chicken there and in other places in the country. And again the expression Er pipo!!! Ia common all over te country as I've heard it in barahona and Sto dgo. Some people add Er pipo e jela! What ever that means. More words ajito( full of food, over satisfied), aguaita!( very southern expression( means look at that or at him/ her), cucuyo( light bugs), curruco( hugs or cuddle more precisely), emparchao, me Quede topao( I feel a little hungry still). And many more that dont come to mind now |

Quote: tartesos previously said: Good words. One minor correction. Pichirri is a very Dominican word( made famous by hipolito), my mothers family is from barahona and that is the only way to name that part of the chicken there and in other places in the country. And again the expression Er pipo!!! Ia common all over te country as I've heard it in barahona and Sto dgo. Some people add Er pipo e jela! What ever that means. More words ajito( full of food, over satisfied), aguaita!( very southern expression( means look at that or at him/ her), cucuyo( light bugs), curruco( hugs or cuddle more precisely), emparchao, me Quede topao( I feel a little hungry still). And many more that dont come to mind now Although I would not argue that "Pichiri" is used in that region, I continue to insist that it is an expression native to the Cibao. Barahona was like Puerto Plata, San Pedro and Manzanillo your typical port city that because of its dynamic shipping and agricultural activities for decades was a magnet for people from all parts of the DR and the world. I would assume and not be surprised if it also attracted many Cibaeno transplants which brought with them their customs and colloquial language. I should know because my Cibaeno grandfather, a banking executive and many Cibaenos like him were temporarily transferred to live and work in Barahona during its hey day and boom times at around the 1930's, 1940's and beginning of the 1950's.
