/Sounds like 'chah-KO-tah'/

A collective mockery, group teasing, or situation that devolves into uncontrollable laughter and disorder. When chacota breaks out, nothing serious gets done — everyone's too busy laughing and goofing around.

Example

"The meeting turned into a laughing mess and nothing was resolved."

"Cut out the clowning and let's be serious."
