[edit] What is gasolina?

What does gasolina mean in the song? Looking at the english lyrics, it probably his sperm, but others say it means they like his car. Can anyone clairify(On my talk page please, I will probably forget about it later)? The Republican 23:28, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

At least here in Colombia I have never heard Gasolina as a slang for cum. Instead, a girl that likes the gasolina is a "gasolinera", someone that prefer hanging out with boys that have car, credit car and enjoy sucking their money in fancy restaurant, movies, clothing etc etc etc. thats what i always have understand about that song. In any case, reggaeton sucks --ometzit<col> 16:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Gasolina in many Latin American countries is slang for cum (sperm). I don't have a verifiable source for this, however. — Yom 14:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Once daddy yankee said it meant when a girl said to get some gasoline as slang to go take a ride in a car.

Well, whichever it means, the "interpretation" section currently contradicts itself repeatedly. 70.19.163.104 23:34, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The meaning is pretty obvious, but the interpretation section sounds condescending "Though its significance is well known in Puerto Rico, few Spanish-speaking North Americans understand it." I would venture to say that everyone in North America could grasp as to what Daddy Yankee was trying to say by saying "ella le gusta la gasolina"- it's really not that obscure of a reference. This should be fixed. Arspickles17 02:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)Arspickles17

I think it means sex, like how people say "want some hot coffee." Its like slang for sex. Patrolman89 (talk) 20:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Daddy Yankee-Gasolina.jpg

Image:Daddy Yankee-Gasolina.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
