/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "cheem" (as in "cheek") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A hard blow, heavy hit, or brutal impact in El Salvador and Honduras, literal or figurative. It covers physical falls, shocking bills, and problems that hit you suddenly with full force. The suffix -azo makes very clear this was not a light tap.
“He took a massive hit falling off the bike and ended up with a huge bruise.”
“What a gut punch that restaurant bill was, we totally did not see it coming.”

Charrúa
In Uruguay, the ultimate badge of national pride and identity. The Charrua were the indigenous people of the territory before Spanish colonization, known for being fierce and unbreakable warriors. That spirit became a national symbol, so calling someone charrua means they are tough, resilient, and stubbornly proud of being Uruguayan.
