/Sounds like "kahs" (as in "car") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "nyah" (as in "Nyan")/

“He crashed his motorbike, thank goodness he was going slow.”
“What a castaña I gave myself on the corner of the table.”

Entunado
In the Dominican Republic, someone who is always in a rush, moving fast, and doing everything hastily. An entunado never slows down: they are permanently sprinting from one thing to the next, usually because something urgent landed on their plate.
