The word "Puta" I've noticed that a few people in here just love to use the word 'puta' to refer to dominicans who work at carwash, boca chica, etc Mommc, Larry, etc I hate that word, even more so because you guys use it and don't know how to use in the dominican context.
FYI in The Dominican Republic the word puta does not mean prostitute, but someone who's a flirt slut. If you want to call DR women prostitutes at least use the right word, which in the DR is "cuero". It's AM I can't sleep Just venting about one of my pet peeves Thanks for the info!! While I have heard that word used on occasion mostly the people who talk about these Sex Trade Workers refer to them as "puta's"!
I'll add "cuero" or should it be cuera? Re: The word "Puta". In the DR when we say 'Que mujer mas puta Mommc: The word is cuero. That's one of those words that doesn't conform to the rule of feminime words. If you say cuera people will understand, though. Kind of like when English speaking people say 'puerta plata' or 'punto cana'. We understand what they're saying, but it's not the way we would say it. I will side with Suarezn on this issue!
While the use of "PUTA" to indicate a prostitute is common in the Spanish speaking world outside the DR,it is not usually used for that purpose here. Any woman or girl may be "acting" "putica",or "slutty" at some time. This does not make them a prostitute! Another often misunderstood,and therefore misused word is "chulo"! Very seldom used to indicate a "pimp". More often used to say "Bonito",or "pretty"! Go Figure! If I am a little "off" in my definitions here just remember that I am not dominican,just trying to learn to communicate in the DR!
I'll explain it again!!!! Cuero is slang. Yes Domincans use it to describe prostitutes but it is more commonly used to describe a promiscuous woman. Puta is the Correct Spanish word. It is not used in polite company but it is still the right word to use. Castillian Spanish is a language. To say that anybody in the DR who uses the word "Puta" is wrong just shows ignorance. If anything using the word "Cuero", to describe a prostitute, is not speaking proper Spanish.
