Description:
This follow-up to the Puerto Rican bestseller, Speaking Boricua, collects the unique Puerto Rican sayings that are passed down from generation to generation.

Spanish versions for these wisdoms.
Hundreds of them are translated literally into English, explained and, when available, paired with an English equivalent. Here are a few samples:
- In English something extremely white may be said to be as paler as snow, in Puerto Rican Spanish you can say whiter than a nun's buttcheek, or más jincho que nalga de monja.
- La gallina vieja da buen caldo, or the old hen makes good broth is a form of saying that a woman's age does not mean she has lost her touch.
- In English you say make a mountain out of a mole hill, to blow something out of proportion. The Puerto Rican equivalent is ahogarse en un vaso de agua, or to drown in a glass of water.
