/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "moos" (as in "moon") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

A gut feeling that something bad is about to happen, that instinctive sense of impending danger you can't quite explain. When you smell chamusquina, your survival instincts are telling you to be careful.

Examples
