YUMAS BARBERAS
Here is what we make Cuban coffee out of:
Cubans even have a unique way of speaking. Here are some Cubanisms:
Barbero – “cool,” or killer.
Fiana – police cruiser
Jintinero – tout, hustler
La lucha – the daily struggle (lit. “the fight.” When you ask people how they are they say, “luchando”)
Pollito – pretty girl
Por la izquierda – the black market
Que es la mecanica – what’s the process here (v. imp. since the process is always loco)
Tortillera – lesbian, dyke
Yuma – someone from the US
