Meaning

In Cuba, someone who is always impeccably dressed and puts serious effort into their appearance at all times. A pitri mitri would never step outside looking anything less than polished, even for a quick errand. Think of it as the Cuban version of "dapper" or "always put together."

Examples

He showed up to the party looking sharp like he owned the place.

That man always looks perfectly dressed even just going to the market.

Regional synonyms

A tough, complicated, sketchy, or dangerous situation in Spain. When things get chungo it's a sign that stuff is going south, could get worse fast, and you better brace yourself.
