Las definiciones aqui contenidas, muchas veces con toques de humor, no solo le haran reir sino, entender mejor a los hijos de una nacion repartida geograficamente entre los que viven en la Isla de Puerto Rico y los que viven en los Estados Unidos continentales y el resto del mundo. Este diccionario incluye desde palabras y frases de raiz taina o africana y que aun se utilizan a diario, las utilizadas por las abuelas, asi como las acunadas mas recientemente por los jovenes. Igualmente, incluye las adaptadas por los puertorriquenos en los EEUU y aquellas que, de invencion boricua han sido incorporadas al Diccionario de la Real Academia Espanola. Entre otras palabras encontrara, por ejemplo, las definiciones de Ay bendito!, trilili, frio pelu, chuleria en pote, pitorro, fufu, o estar como "la Puerca de Juan Bobo". Sin duda este es un excelente regalo para cualquier puertorriquen@.

Bacano May 11, 2008
This book serves as a great resource for language lovers who are curious about expressions, idioms, slang and phrases specific to a region or group of speakers in this case Puerto Ricans. Compiled by a Boricua from the island confirms the authenticity of the resource and is a reflection of Puerto Rican Spanish spoken mostly on the island. The book is organized alphabetically with explanations of the vocabulary and expressions. It's important to note that this dictionary is completely documented in Spanish. The origin of some of the words and expressions are also noted for example 'indigenismo' or 'afronegrismo'. I found it also interesting that quite a few of the expressions were common in the Dominican Republic and Cuba which is yet more evidence of the linguistic similarity among these three nations. If you are curious about a PR expression chances are it's documented in this dictionary. A worthy purchase.
