Puerto Rican Spanish, or “Boricua,” has its distinct character. Key phrases include “¿Qué la what?” (What’s up?) and “Wepa” (Wow/Yay). A popular saying is “Eso es un arroz con culo” (That’s a rice with ass), referring to a messy situation. The idiom “Estar en la baba” (To be in the drool) means to be distracted or not paying attention.
