/Sounds like "chahn" (as in "chat") + "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
A dirty move, a mess, or something done so carelessly it leaves everything worse than before. Used widely across South and Central America to call out someone's sloppy behavior or underhanded actions, whether it is a physical disaster they left behind or a sneaky move that needs to be owned up to.
“He left such a disaster in the kitchen it took me half an hour to clean up.”
“What you did was a dirty move, just admit it.”

Novela
A dramatic situation that has spiraled into full soap opera territory, with impossible conflicts and unexpected plot twists. Used in Mexico and Central America. When someone says "esto ya se volvió novela," the situation has gone from a normal life problem to something with betrayals, secret revelations, and scenes that belong on primetime TV.
