/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "rrohs"/
In the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, cheap beat-up shoes or flip-flops you throw on to run quick errands without caring how you look. The kind of footwear you grab when you just need to make it to the corner store and back.
“He headed out in his beat-up old sandals just to hit the corner store.”
“I am not wearing those raggedy shoes to a meeting, I will find something better.”
/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "rrohs"/
A lazy person who hangs around on street corners all day with no job, no purpose, and nowhere to be. In the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, a mataperros is that guy who is always out there doing nothing, someone the neighborhood knows by name and reputation.
“That corner-lurker has been out there all day doing absolutely nothing.”
“Stop being a bum and find something to keep yourself busy.”
