/Sounds like "HEH-vee"/
A Dominican expression for saying something or someone is cool, dope, good vibes. Comes from English "heavy" adapted to Dominican phonetics, where the silent h became a hard j. "Qué jevi tu camiseta" means how cool your shirt is. Used among youth and adults, on the street, on social media, and anywhere a quick, casual compliment is needed.
"Qué jevi esa canción. → That song is really cool."
"Está jevi el restaurante nuevo. → The new restaurant is tight."

Caña
A hangover, the miserable morning after drinking too much alcohol. In Chile and Spain, "tener caña" means you're suffering from headaches, nausea, and deep regret, that awful feeling that makes you swear you'll never drink again, until next weekend.
