es verdad (its true)

Nosotros, Nicas, dicimos cosas como, "Iyay! Como has estado hombre?!" o "Mira quien se escapo de su casa! No te e visto en anos!"
Pero cuando son buen amigos.
We, Nicas, say things like "Hey! Have you been man?!" or "Look who escaped from their house! I haen't seen you in ages!"
But only when they are really good friends.

Nicas? those are people from Nicaragua ¿sí?

¿nicaragüenses? <--I don't know if that is right...

well, to reply to what "Chilled Escapism" asked.
"hijo de tu madre" is "son of a b***h"
but notice it doesn't use "perra" to express "b***h"
directly translated it would be "son of your mother"

In spain we use another form too: we take "b***h" with the meaning of whore and say "hijo de puta" (puta means whore or hooker).
A harder form is "hijo de la gran puta" that it's like "son of the great b***h".

acá en perú hay varias formas, como en los saludos, simplemente se dice "habla" o si es un amigo le dicen "habla causa, o habla choche, cuñao, etc" hay otros modismos, por ejemplo: acá al reloj y también al corazón se les dice bobo, o a la casa se le dice jato. "me voy a chambear" es me voy a trabajar, "somos fuga" quiere decir, nos vamos, o vamonos de aquí, y uff, tendría para decirles un montón de cosas, pero no me alacanzaría para poner todo, jeje rofl

Puerto Rican people actually use a lot of Spanglish...for example, they'll just say "beauty" instead of peluqueria.

....Funny how these things always go...

I know...no, you don't need a passport, actually. Trust me, I just moved here sweatdrop .

...where and why, exactly, no one really knows...

 

[ClearlyPixelated]

Yeah the Spanglish thing is big with them...I was asking my friend if she wanted to go get a paleta and she just looked at me like I was crazy before asking what I was talking about. They just call them popsicles.  

[I Jose I]

Yeah we use it a Lot O.O  

[Behdad1234]

also, there are different base languages, changing the vocabulary. Like in Puerto Rico, the Taínos had a Spanish-like language, so we have spanish mixed with Taíno.

Well, that's kind of true.
In México, we rarely say ¿Cómo estás?
we use ¿Cómo has estado? (how have you been?)
¿Cómo andas? (How is it going?) ¿Qué hay? ¿Qué ondas? ¿Qué hubo?(what's up?)

¿Cómo estás? is most commonly used between adults, and when talking to older people we say ¿Cómo está usted? because it is more formal.

Yeah, I don't come from any Spanish speaking country but instead of what's up we say "Qué lo qué?" or "Qué tal?"
