Today's Dominican Word: Clavo – in today’s world this means NAIL in Spanish, however, for us Dominicans is when someone has done an incredible stunt. This is often heard when Dominicans watch movies with unbelievable stories.

1. Dominican: La Pelicula de James Bond fue un Clavo.
2. English: James Bond’s movie had unbelievable stunts.

Uhh, I think the proper meaning of the word "clavo" is that its whack.... not that they do unbelieable stunts....

Yes, this is true. It is used to describe that the movie was not good. I have heard my mom use it.
