Not a new word, but a funny little story. My first visit, my husband's family picked us up at STI. Robert (my husband) is Dominican but born in the US.


They hadn't seen him in several years. They were all talking at once, hardly stopping to breath, and I knew very little Spanish.


They all kept saying "pero, pero" over and over, interjecting the word constantly. I keep thinking, why are they all talking about dogs? How can there be this much conversation about dogs? I asked Robert and he just looked at me like I was crazy. Then he started laughing. They all got a good chuckle out of that one.

@brewpub56 - that is hilarious. I love it! :-)


@rfmaurone - "pero" means "but" or "although", so in other words they would be saying something like "we had a good flight but (pero), the plane was totally full". Perro, on the other hand, is a dog and the emphasis on the "rr" is much stronger. I hope that makes sense. :-)
