Great Saying

The Dominicans use an interesting expression to refer to speed bumps which we recently learned from Luis, a taxi driver we frequently use. They call a speed bump "policia acostado," which literally means "policeman lying down." We think that's a great way to refer to speed bumps. They also assign ranks to them, depending on the size. For example, a "general" (this is also a Spanish word) is a larger speed bump than a "teniente" (a lieutenant).
