Arroz con Culo

Puerto Rican expression meaning a huge mess or mixup.
Literally, it means, rice with ass. So naturally, since Puerto Ricans love rice, adding ass would really mess things up.

Muchacho, cuando ella lo pillo mirando la culona, se formo un arroz con culo.
Dude, when she caught him staring at that chick with the big ass, the situation became a huge mess.

Janguear

To "hang out." This is really the English expression 'hang out,' but Nuyoricans have given it a spanish pronunciation, thereby creating a new Puerto Rican slang word.

"Oye, yo estoy aburrido, vamos a janguear."
"Yo, I'm bored, lets go hang out."

Friquear/Enfriquia(o)

This term means, 'to freak out' or 'freaked out.' They are really the English words: freaked or freak out, but Nuyoricans have long pronounced it with a Latin accent, and they have therefore become commonly used words in Spanish.

"Hay maria, no me a llegado los cupones, y estoy enfriquia."
"Oh Maria, my coupons haven't arrived and I'm freaking out."
