/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
A brute, a clumsy and rough person who handles everything without care or finesse. In Argentina, Spain, and Uruguay, a caballo does not necessarily mean to cause damage, they just lack any delicacy in what they do, whether driving, talking, or touching things they probably should not.
“No seas caballo, maneja con cuidado que hay niños.”
“Do not be so reckless, drive carefully, there are kids around.”
“Ese caballo rompió todo lo que tocó en menos de una hora.”
“That brute broke everything he touched in under an hour.”
