Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "nyoh" (as in "onion") + "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A thunderous, powerful shot on goal in football, the kind the goalkeeper doesn't even see and that makes the net shake. When a player unleashes a cañonazo, the entire stadium jumps to its feet screaming.

Examples

He hammered a cañonazo from outside the box that was impossible to save.

That cañonazo nearly ripped the net.
