The Russian slang word Ништяк means ‘Cool’, 'Good', 'Alright' or ‘Awesome’, depending on the context it is used in. However, the word 'ништяки' stands for something like 'goods', whether talking about munchies or leftover food, candy, etc. It declines like so:

Here are a few sample sentences:
| Настроение у Сергея стало улучшаться, он начинал верить, что все будет ништяк. | Sergey's mood began to improve, he was starting to think that everything will be alright. |
| Эти семечки — ништяк! | These sunflower seeds are awesome!. |
| — Как дела? — Всё ништяк! |
“How are you?” “Everything is awesome!” |
| Ништяки остались? | Are there any left-overs? |
I found a great little internet meme that uses the word. It's probably confusing at first because a student might think that ваще is a misspelling of ваше, but that's not the case here. Here ваще is geek spelling for вообще ‘totally, completely,’ so in this picture the words mean “totally awesome!”
