My Nicaraguan Vocabulary
|
We all love to immerse ourselves in local culture, food, garb, and the likes, but once in awhile, you're pushed to a place of hysteria to cope with your surroundings. So on a recent trip to Nicaragua, we coined the following terms: Sniff N' Sip - The act of subconsciously sniffing before sipping the contents of any mysterious looking juice handed to you. Bugitas - Made-up spanglish that refers to a random collection of bugs or insects. Hyena Dog - The nondescript looking mutts that roam around the streets, clearly with no owner. Swat N' Fan - A subconscious skill that is acquired after swatting and fanning flies away from your meals. Mansquito - You guessed it! Mosquitoes that actually talk back to you! |
