Finally, éste refers to a specific thing, while ésto would be more general. They might have said something more like "Oyen, miren ésto."
I, like P-hack, blame Google.
I googled what language they speak in the Dominican Republic. Then I used Google Translate to translate "Hey y'all watch this." Then I used Google chrome to post it to this site.
The only Spanish I know came from Dora the explorer. So Gringo isn't offensive right? Then again, Websters says "often disparaging". Oh well, at least I'm smart enough not to gun a Volvo into a crowd or just stand there while somebody else does it toward me.
