/Sounds like "AH" (as in "art") + "gwahs" (as in "Guam") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A rhyming Chicano warning that pairs the classic "aguas" (watch out) with "vato" (buddy). It gets thrown out when the risk is incoming and there's no time to explain. A well-timed "aguas vato" has saved fights on more than one barrio street. The rhyme gives it rhythm but the message is serious: turn, react, stay alert now. Not advice, an order.
“Heads up dude, that corner is hot tonight.”
“Watch out bro, that guy's girl is really jealous.”

Yola
A rickety boat used to attempt the dangerous crossing of the Mona Channel between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The yola represents the desperate hope of migration, thousands risk their lives on these makeshift vessels seeking a better future.
