Within the richness of the known Spanish language is that over the centuries the peoples have adapted certain phrases and idioms, what is known as "jargon", to their daily vocabulary. And Cubans are no strangers to this adaptation of words created by popular speech from an unlimited imagination.
In this sense, we present you a first list of Cuban slang and that will surely cause more than a smile. Let's see :
- A vola.- See you later, bye, see you.

I understand that in the 50s (when I was a teenager) in addition to being known as "hole watchers" or "rescuers" at the guys who peeked through the windows, we also used to call the guys who preying on the windows "rescuers". entertained, they tried to fondle or hit women in full buses.
I am your answer,
thank you very much.
