Word of the Week: Party

Latinos party. Hard to argue with that. Sure, I mean, everyone parties, but we’re really good at it – you could say we kind of have a reputation. Between drinking, dancing, and other things, we do it best. So here’s a list of a few of the many ways for Latinos to describe their parties, or otherwise (verb) their (nouns).

Party

1. noun:

• El cotorreo
• Fiesta (Also: “fiestón,” and for even bigger parties, “fiestonón.”)

2. verb:

• Desmadrar
• Enfiestar
