Your word isn't here yet

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.

A slow or ignorant person who does not learn no matter how many times you explain something to them. In Spain this is the insult you reach for when you have completely run out of patience trying to make someone understand.
