/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "oh" (as in "oh")/
Someone in the closet, hiding their sexual orientation and living a double life in the Caribbean. Tapao literally means 'covered' and captures that secret-keeping weight. In the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, it often refers specifically to a gay man who isn't out.
“Everyone knows he's in the closet except himself.”
“He came out after years of hiding.”

Irse de farra
To go out and party hard, hitting bars, clubs, or wherever the night takes you, with full commitment to a good time and no fixed hour to come home. Common in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. The farra is the night out itself, and you give it everything you have, sometimes walking straight to work the next morning.
