Nicaraguan Spanish has its unique slang terms. Common expressions include: “Maje” (dude, guy), “Tuani” (cool, nice), “Chochada” (nonsense), “Chunche” (thing), “Chavalo/a” (boy/girl), “Ideay” (hey!). “¿Qué onda?” or “¿Qué fue?” are common greetings meaning “What’s up?”. “Dale pues” is often used to agree or say goodbye. As with all slang, usage can vary, so it’s best to learn through context and careful observation.
