    "Botar la bola" is a phrase latinos use to say "Homerun" (get it out of the park)
    It means that the mother and father of the girl "hit a homerun" when they had the girl because she came out so FINE. It simply means that they did a great job

    As to why she says dame duro como Banshee robao I think it's because if you steal a Banshee and they are chasing you as in the video you will go fast as hell, full power etc... A.K.A : "Le vas a meter duro"...
    ooo i get it now lol haha makes sense

    I got some words I want to figure out. Words I think that I think are Puerto Rican slang:

    Pasota = (heard it from Tito El Bambino "Siente El Boom"
    Acanyao? (sp?) = (I live with Puerto Ricans, and this word was said by on of my roommates and everybody exclaimed "hey")
    Feca? = (I hear this word a lot, particularly like this: "tu eres feca" I have a feeling it is a Puerto Rican wordplay on the word "fake" or something.
    Poncea = (heard this from a perreo song "Dale Poncea" by Zk & Crac Mc)

    I am half Haitian (mother's side) and Dominican (father is from Dominican republic he is also part Puerto Rican). Though my Spanish is limited I love listening to reggaeton. With the Puerto Rican slang used in reggaeton it's hard to tell what the artists are talking about.

    Read the lyrics but didn't see that word in the song.

    Acanyao? (sp?) = (I live with Puerto Ricans, and this word was said by on of my roommates and everybody exclaimed "hey") Never heard of it. It could have been he said something else and you misunderstood

    Feca= liar

    Poncea = it's refers to orgy/orgasmic dancing. Can't think of a better way of explaining it.

    Thanks Arianna. I was a little right about Feca, a liar is a fake.
    Poncea orgasmic dancing? I thought perreo dance was already like that? lol

    When it comes to slang most words are bound to be nasty or bad. And yes, you guys own with the translating.

    He he, I know right?

    Okay, from what I hear, poncea is like you go to a party and try to dance with as many people as possible with the opposite sex.

    Perreo could be w/just one person or even by yourself. Think about it. Have you seen YouTube lately?

    ha ha

    Arux I am so surprised to the quantity of slangs you know..jajaj you must like reggeton a lot.

    by the way

    Vacilar - means to hook up, to kiss

    me voy de Vacilon - means I am going to have fun, but it involves someone from the other sex that you are planning to hook up

    You know what. I think it sounded a bit like "El Callao", and at the time they were listening to music. I must have heard wrong for real. Thanks breco.

    Marapinga? You mean Cara pinga or mama pinga? If you mean cara pinga then the translation for that is "**** face". Cara = "Face" and Pinga = "Penis/****". Mama pinga would mean "suck ****". I've only heard my Costa rican friend say it that way. I usually hear like "chupa mi pinga".

    I've got other words I would like to see translated. Such as:

    Masacote
    Perro Sato (I know perro is a dog but don't know what "sato" means or what it means with Perro)
