Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "kahn" (as in "car") + "SOH" (as in "solo") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

An exhausting, annoying, and relentlessly pushy person who drains everyone's patience. In Colombia and Venezuela, a cansona has a gift for getting on your nerves without even trying, and she will call you five times in an hour just to make sure you got the message.

Examples

That pest called me five times in a single hour.

Stop being so annoying, I already told you I can't meet today.

Regional synonyms

A thing, situation, object, or whatever, the ultimate filler word in Venezuela. Broma technically means 'joke' everywhere else, but in Venezuela it covers absolutely anything you can't or don't want to name specifically. It's the 'thingy' or 'whatchamacallit' that holds Venezuelan speech together.
