/Sounds like "kees" (as in "keep") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "YAH" (as in "yard") + "noh" (as in "note")/
A poetic name for Dominicans, derived from Quisqueya, the original Taíno name for the island. It's more formal and prideful than simply saying 'Dominican,' and even appears in the national anthem.
“We quisqueyanos are cheerful by nature.”
“Quisqueyan land, the most beautiful in the Caribbean.”

Enguayabado
Hungover, suffering through the after-effects of the previous night's drinking. In Colombia the "guayabo" collects everything you drank the night before, with full interest. Being enguayabado is a full-body reminder that last night was probably a bad idea.
