Santeria is a awesome, outstanding, successful, outgoing, fantastic, and cool to be around (if you on the good side) human being. This person has "hittas" so don't test them. This person will leave a remembrance and strong love mark on you and you will never be able to forget this human being. (mostly a female name)

The practice by TV/Radio media of censoring materials that are not obscene or vulgar, but failing to censor the obscene/vulgar.
Back in the 90's, when the band "Sublime" was in its prime, I remember watching a music video for "Santeria" on TV. When the song got to the following lyrics:
"Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide. Daddy's got a new 45.
and I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat.
Believe me when I say that I got somethin for his punk ass. "
The TV station edited out the word "forty-five", but NOT the phrase "punk ass". This is what I call the "Santeria Effect"
