Welcome to Miami and say goodbye to basic English. If you’ve a been to Miami, you know that everyone there speaks a whole different language. Use this guide as a cheat sheet next time you find yourself trapped in south Florida. And if you’re a Cuban living in Miami, help a visitor out.

Diesel: Fly, awesome, sexy, etc.

Rarely does it mean the clothing brand, fuel type or the actor.

Irregardless: Kind of like regardless but, somehow, even less regard is given.

What’s supposebly? Well…

Why is it called this? Because supposebly the siren on the buses in Cuba went something like, wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa.

Bro: Term of endearment for anybody in any situation. Can be used in the masculine and feminine form.

Your mom can be bro. Your dad can be bro. Even your abuelita can be bro.

Que levanto un muerto: You’re in for a kick-ass dinner, bro.

How many times have we seen Latinas using their sexuality to get to a better place? Ugh.
