Tu dices baile, yo digo dance! Across Latin America and across Latinos in America, the diversity of the Spanish language reflects it's people(s). Arguments about the correct way to eat a mango, who invented salsa, who makes the best gallo pinto, or whether it's chevere, guay, or bacano…are el pan de cada dia.

Jitomate, or tomate, us Remezcleros are loving the the dynamics and the straight-up hilarious words and phrases that we come across, some of which are truly ridiculous but totally validated by culture and lore.

We'd like to introduce to you to our new slang and dichos and slang dictionary, which will include words like: aguacatón, pimpampún, traqueteo, fuácata, tuanis, lata, recórcholis, rebentón, corazón de melón,maja, jerga, and the list goes on, and on, and on…. Don't know what some of these mean? Que no cunda el pánico, we'll shine a light.

This week, animales!

Did you ever fall when you were a kid and your mother would say "sana sana culito de rana, si no sana hoy, sanará mañana"? (Heal, heal, little froggy butt, if not better today, tomorrow). Literally we’re talking about frog butts here. You get the picture.

The relationship between man and beast has long been a stead fast one. As animals have pawed, meowed and galloped into our lives, dichos and slang words have inevitably come along with them. Share yours with us.
