The work focuses on presenting and illustrating the main characteristics of Cuban zoomorphic phraseology, which is composed of expressions that use the name, a quality, or an action typical of an animal to refer to human characteristics, behaviors, or conduct. To do this, it relies on the systematization of the subject carried out in various studies between 2019 and 2024, as well as the analysis of a database compiled from the collection and processing of 639 current zoomorphic phraseological units in Cuba. The results from previous studies on specific aspects, along with the analysis of the information gathered in the database, have allowed for generalizations to be established and distinctive features to be observed regarding the form, meaning, and usage of these zoomorphic units in Cuban Spanish. Therefore, even though this topic had received little attention in the country's linguistics, the research undertaken now allows for the integration of partial and scattered results into a general characterization of Cuban zoomorphic phraseology.

The article analyzes the high productivity of the term "pinga" in Cuban Spanish, documenting 51 units formed from this word. These units have lost the referential meaning of "pinga" as a male sexual organ, but they still maintain their dysphemistic connotation. It is highlighted that machismo in Cuban society has contributed to the productivity of this word, which has acquired multiple meanings within and outside the sexual realm.

Egodocuments are an excellent documentary type for the study of social and linguistic history. As they are not subject to mediation, correction, or interference by a secondary author, they are texts in which the author expresses his or her feelings just setting the pen to paper. On the other hand, as their execution is focused on immediate communication, their dissemination is not considered, so they lack the filters of social or formal conventions. The aim of this research is to show the importance of considering egodocuments as a valuable material for the reconstruction of identity and the role played by the popular classes in Cuba, concentrating on the decades before Independence, in those accurate moments when the social and linguistic identity of a new nation was being formed.
