Girl, that is definitely an endearing term; similar to saying Baby, Boo, Sweety....Why would a guy call you like Mami like his Mom? I don't think that in a moment that a Dominican man is spending affectionate time with his girl and calling her Mami he's doing it in the same context as with his mother

Thanks for responding. It all makes sense now. I thought to myself..this is either a term of endearment or this guy is a freak! LMAO Ahh..so many words to learn.:-)

JEM, just curious, but did everybody yell, in unison " llego la luz", when the train came out of the tunnel?

Dread, I honestly don't remember if anyone did, but I'm pretty sure someone did as it would have been very fitting!

i am sure someone did. Dominicans have a wonderful sense of humor, especially when they are ridiculing matters in their country!

I can remember growing up a common use of the lips to point or signify pointing( as if giving a kiss) to someone as a point of reference commonly used instead of using fingers

In addition the statement "Misy Fu" when referencing some unknown woman or female, as in " preguntale a misy Fu.

I have never heard about misy fu in my whole life

Well I have a very large both genetic and extended family and perhaps it's a family or generational phenomenon seeing that we are not cohorts.

My Father told me a very funny story a long time ago:
When Dad was young (in the 1950's) in the Capital (Ciudad Nueva) he would joke around with his friends; Well, while they were hanging out one day, one of his compadres asked another one of the guys {"un chino"}: Wong , why don't you march with the DR's Chinese Colony, in the parades that President Trujillo organizes? Since all the Arabs, Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Jews, etc.,march with their respective groups in those parades. Wong answered: "Y, sere you Chino? Yo soy Dominicano!"
Every time my Dad told me that story I would roll in laughter, imagining an ethnic chinese fellow considering himself Dominican around a bunch of Capitaleños "dandole cuerda".

Arse nio LambonJR....Ciudad Nueva that where you from mon....you have to march with the retards because you went full retard.... never go full retard....you were that semi white trash on Santome...always trying to get over and move to Gazque with folks....yeah always putting on the dog saying you were quality when actually you was just trash
