Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "POH" (as in "port") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

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 is seriously fine: the kind of good-looking that makes people do a double take when he walks into a room.

Examples

That hottie who walked into the bar has me losing my mind.

Your cousin is seriously good-looking, can you introduce me?
