/Sounds like 'pah-POH-teh'/
A very handsome man — the highest masculine attractiveness compliment in the Caribbean. In the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, papote is what you call a man who's straight-up fine, the kind of good-looking that makes people do a double take on the street.
"¡Ay, ese papote que entró al bar! → "Oh wow, that hottie who just walked into the bar!"
"Tu hermano está papote, ¿me lo presentas? → "Your brother is seriously good-looking — can you introduce me?"
