Here's the pitch (excerpt from the article):

Prospective retirees: Panama wants you. The pitch? A plane ride just 21/2 hours from Miami enables the newly poor to swap a wretched retirement in the U.S. for one befitting a royal in the balmy Central American nation. Cash out! Emigrate! Feel rich! Panama—the new Florida.

Alone in a world with millions around you, how can that be?

Although the world may feel dark and gloomy, don't be alarmed

for there is light behind the clouds for your colorful self!

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!
