Slideshow: 25 Things Only People From Miami Say

Now, we recently shared things only people from Florida say, and although those phrases are common to the entire state, there are plenty more that are unique to the Spanglish-speaking community of Miami. If you've lived in the 305 (the area code Miamians take much pride in) you'll know what to do when your mom says "Mamita, get down and get a pub-sub please" or what it means to hear the latest "chisme about the pata sucia at last week's getty."

Sure, people everywhere use the term "bro" but it's unlikely that anyone uses it as often as Miamians. The word is used for absolutely anything — excitement, disappointment, to call someone, to enhance a story — anything.

This one isn't a thing people say, exactly, but it's the way everyone in Miami greets each other. Where you'd shake a stranger's hand in a different state (or even North Florida), in Miami it's all about the cheek kisses. It's a much friendlier greeting and takes the awkwardness out of meeting someone new — although outsiders may think the opposite. Also used in the same context is the word besos, which is usually said on the phone or through text when you can't physically give the cheek kiss to say goodbye.

Let's start this one by saying that everyone who was raised in Miami has gone through a chonga phase, or has known a few chongas in their day. So what does it mean? It's usually a Hispanic girl in her late teens who wears tight bottoms with a baggy top, oversized hoop earrings (possibly with her name written through it), and tightly gelled-back hair (or tightly curled hair with so much gel in it that it looks permanently wet).

The slang word dasit is used as the Spanglish abbreviation for "that's it" throughout Miami. Many words that have a th- sound at the beginning of the word are substituted for a d- sound. You'll hear dasit used to end almost any sentence with emphasis, whether it's an order or an argument, dasit.

A getty is when a group of people get together at someone's house. It can be a large getty or a small one, but it's never big enough to be considered a house party — although sometimes they can turn into one before you know it.

In Spanish, la guagua means the bus. The public transportation in Miami isn't the best, and many people try to avoid it by all means possible, but sometimes it's just too hot to walk, in which case you'll probably have to catch the guagua.

"I'm literally sick of this humidity" is just one example of how "literally" is used in literally every possible way. The old "like" is out and has been replaced with the new and improved "literally." Please control your instinctual desire to respond with an eye roll.

There are variations to each of these words, but mama and mamita are used as endearing terms for ladies, where papo and papito are used for guys. These words apply to anyone and aren't only used for friends and family. For example, if you're next in line for a cafecito (Cuban coffee) and don't realize, the person behind you will likely say "mamita" to get your attention instead of "miss." It is also used in sentences such as "Papo, I love the hair cut" or "What'd you do last night, papito (or mamita)?"

There is no denying that palmetto bugs are worse than most cockroaches, and they're also incredibly common in Florida. Palmetto bugs are part of the cockroach family, but not only are they the largest of the species — they can fly! Roaches are gross enough, but giving them wings? That's just evil.

Publix is Florida's Holy Grail chain of grocery stores, and it is notoriously known for its chicken tender subs. "Pub-subs," as Floridians call them, are made to order at the Publix deli, and no road trip is complete until everyone has picked up their pub-subs.

Whenever you'd normally use the word "supposedly," insert "supposably" there instead. Although it is actually a word derived from supposable, Miamians are probably the only ones that use it with such frequency, and are supposably using it in the wrong context too.

This phrase holds the same meaning in Spanish and in English. Where people in other places would exclaim "you already know" as an indication of excitement toward something, Miamians add the Latin flair to it and just have to say it in Spanish — ¡Ya tu sabes!
