/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHOHN" (as in "chose") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Funny, hilarious, with a great sense of humor in Spain. Being cachondo is a big compliment: it means you're naturally witty, you make everyone laugh, and you've got that effortless charm you can't fake.

Examples

This guy is so cachondo, he always cracks me up.

It was a really cachondo night, we didn't stop goofing around.

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "CHOHN" (as in "chose") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Examples

He's all worked up, can't stop staring at that girl.

That movie has some scenes that'll get anyone hot and bothered.
