Insult Example (something dad's usually say to their sons)
"Ya ibn el kalb!": Son of a dog!
"Kele khara" : Eat shit
"Rah shalkhik!": I'm going to shred you.

-Someone in your family is named Maria, Charlie, Papo, Ana or Carmen.

-All cereal is called "con-flei."

-You've put a penny on your forehead to stop a nose bleed.
(My dad still makes me do this; I'm 22 years old.)

-Your grandmother thinks Vick's vapor-rub is the miracle cure for everything. (Uh, it is!)

-You call rug-carpeta , roof-rufo, parking-palkin, stress-estress, library-libreria (instead of biblioteca), boiler-boila, sucker-soca, or to knock-noquiar.

-You have told your kid not to walk the floor barefoot or they'll catch a cold. (I'd get in trouble for that all the time.)

-You need a cup of coffee after every meal, espresso boricua style "con leche".

Hooray for being Puerto Rican! :)
