/Sounds like "too-toom-POH-teh"/
A Dominican word for a rich, powerful, or highly influential person, especially politicians, business owners, or members of the traditional upper class. It's pejorative but not vulgar: it describes those who live in another world, separated from everyone else. "Los tutumpotes" are the Dominican social elite. The word carries a popular critique toward the country's economic inequality.
"Los tutumpotes nunca van a pagar impuestos. → The fat cats will never pay taxes."
"Mi jefe es un tutumpote. → My boss is a big shot."

Caña
A hangover, the miserable morning after drinking too much alcohol. In Chile and Spain, "tener caña" means you're suffering from headaches, nausea, and deep regret, that awful feeling that makes you swear you'll never drink again, until next weekend.
