Panamanian Colloquialisms, Sayings and Slang

I created this reference page to help travelers to Panama understand the local lingo. (Of course, it helps to understand Spanish as well.) 

This is a work in progress. If you have any more Panamanian idiom, colloquialism, slang term or saying additions or corrections, let me know. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Special thanks to my wife and kids who helped me with the list!
