Trying to run down the precise meaning of Mas Sabe El Diablo . . I embarked on a maze of Nicaragan slang terms and dichos.
An old TRN post from 2009 by the Cigar Fisherman came up, actually several.
I tried to bump it, with no luck. This,, and about fifty others:
Cañanbuco person, is one who uses no Cansoncillos/underwear.
The mexicans would say, "Andar En cuero"
So Andar Cañanbuco(a) means, you are not wearing underwear/panties, kinda like Sharon Stone in Basic Instincts,ella Andaba Cañanbuca
It's not that I really need to ask, at my age, if someone is going commando, it's just that I really enjoy the richness of the language.
We need an Elks 11th Hour Sticky, those who have gone before us. Many come to Nicaragua, to the astonishment of family and friends, and in some cases, spouses, to fight the good fight on our terms,, and like Doniston, to die with our boots on.
Others come looking for flojos vestidos and zorras, some the cheap rum and cheap living.
Whatever, it beats sitting in a rocker, watching old westerns, feeling useless.
Why not come to Nicaragua and actually BE useless ??
A riqueza of phrases, some not usable in polite society. My favorite, which I am dying to use, is
Me Vale Verga,,
I don't give a shit!
I could have used it at Pelosi's Impeachment News Conference this morning.
The TRN post actually came up via a google search, proving the efficiency of google,, and the truth that nothing on the internet ever actually dies.
I finally found Mas Sabe el Diablo here,, along with any number that apply to the Ortegas

One in particular,, A cada chancho le llega su sabado
