/Sounds like "DEE" (as in "deep") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
In the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, "supposedly" or "allegedly," used to flag that information is secondhand or that you are not fully buying it. Comes from "dizque" compressed in fast speech. Almost impossible to avoid in a Dominican conversation.
“Supposedly Juan bought a new car, but I have not seen it.”
“She supposedly has a boyfriend, I do not believe any of it.”

A tope
At maximum capacity, completely full, or pushed to the limit in Spain. Whether a packed venue, a slammed work week, or someone giving everything they have got, "a tope" means there is no room left for anything more.
