/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "boh" (as in "boat") + "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
In the Dominican Republic, a hard hit or a brutal situation that knocks you flat out of nowhere. A chavonaso can be a physical punch, devastating news, or a sudden failure that nobody saw coming, something that leaves you stunned and unsure of what just happened.
“Life hit him hard with that illness, nobody was ready for it.”
“That accident was a brutal shock that came completely out of nowhere.”
