You end sentences with ‘swa’ (= brother-in-law)…
You classify the level of nastiness by the length of your ‘chéééééé..!‘
Your friends call you to see why you’re taking so long, you tell them “mi ta yegando!” (=I’m so close), even though you’re still in the shower.
You know that ‘pols kibrá’ (= broken wrist) doesn’t require immediate medical attention.

Your jug (= cooler) is always in the bahul (= trunk)
You understand directions without using actual street names…“just keep driving until you reach the pink house, then you’ll see a yard with lots of plants, you don’t turn in that street, you turn when you see the tamarind tree, my house is the third one on your right!”
And of course, “if you hit the rotary, then you know you’ve gone too far.”
