BUSKAPLAITO
Someone who is buskaplaito is the kind of person who goes looking for a fight.
He or she starts trouble.
It's as if they enjoy conflict.
They see peace and quiet, and don't like it.
So they'll pick on someone, hoping to start a fight.
They'll make a problem where none exists.
Sometimes, it's not for the mere enjoyment of it. Sometimes there's a real gain. For example, making two people who don't have a fight start fighting, so one can gain the advantage over both of them.
~ Håfa na ti ya-mo si Maria? (Why don't you like Maria?)
~ Buskaplaito na taotao! (She's a trouble maker!)
~ Suhåye i buskaplaito na taotao. (Avoid the trouble maker.)
The word comes from Spanish buscapleito.
It can be broken down into two words :
Busca, which means "he or she looks for," and
pleito, which means "quarrel or argument."
But we don't like the ei sound, and we change it to ai.
Like Spanish reina (queen) becomes Chamorro raina.
