/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

Sexually aroused, turned on, or feeling frisky in Mexico. It's used exclusively with sexual connotations, unlike in Spain where it can just mean funny.

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.
