Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "kahn" (as in "car") + "SOHN" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

An annoyingly persistent person who just will not take no for an answer. In Colombia and Central America, calling someone cansón means they are exhausting to be around because they nag, insist, or constantly ask for favors without ever reading the room or picking up on hints.

Examples

Stop being so annoying, I already told you no and I am not changing my mind.

That guy is super draining, always asking for favors and never giving anything back.

Regional synonyms

In Venezuela, a sudden and unexpected blow of bad luck that hits you out of nowhere. Used for financial, work, or personal setbacks that land hard with zero warning. The word carries the image of something slapping you before you even see it coming.
