Cargados means loaded in Spanish.

In Puerto Rico, part of the archipelago's name is used as a slang reference for a proverbial faraway place (given its geographical distance from the Caribbean country). This reference is most commonly used when the user wants to refer a derided subject to hell, as in "¡Vete al Carajo!" (In the Castillian Spanish spoken in Spain, the word "carajo" has a phallic connotation, which was lost in its mutation into Puerto Rican Spanish).
