Salvadoran Spanish has its unique flavor of slang. Common expressions include: “Cerote” (dude, can be offensive), “Bicho/a” (kid), “Pisto” (money), “Cherada” (cool, awesome), “Cipote/a” (boy/girl), “Maje” (dude, friend). “¿Qué ondas?” means “What’s up?”. “Pupusa” is a traditional food and is sometimes used in slang contexts. Remember, Salvadoran slang can be quite colorful, so use it cautiously and pay attention to context.
