something like cool Explanation: just from a quick google, it seems to be a typically Cuban term for something being 'cool' or literally 'in shape'. not sure what the best way of expressing this in colloquial English would be. Perhaps a Cuban prozer could confirm the best translation?! Reference: http://graciasfidel.blogspot.com/2007/01/fidel-est-en-talla....
