Nametaken is right. "We're outta here!" would be the closest equivalent, I believe.

In mny places, people deliberately distort "fuimos" por "juimos" toying with an "incorrect" pronunciation that is common in remote areas or among less educated people. A bit like some educated English speakers may deliberately choose to say "we be gone!", instead of "we have left" or "we are leaving now".

I think your friend was probably trying to say: Nos fuimos smile.

Nine o'clock in UCA.... we're gone!!!

I think I've read somewhere the nos fuimos can be used as slang for we're going, which might make sense here, but I'm not sure confused
