Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "KWEH" (as in "quest") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

A Nicaraguan word for gossip, rumor, or street chatter loaded with information about other people's lives. "Me fui al cuecho" means I went to chat with the neighbors, "andan echando cuecho" means they're being gossipy. Not as heavy as "bochinche" but not innocent either: cuecho can ruin reputations if it lands in the wrong hands.

Examples

The neighborhood ladies get together to gossip.

Don't spread gossip, man.
