/Sounds like "CHOH" (as in "chose") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
Work, job, or daily gig. "Choyo" is the Guatemalan everyday word for employment, the local equivalent of "chamba" in Mexico or "brete" in Costa Rica. You hear it among young people and working-class urbanites: "ando en el choyo" means I'm at work, "conseguí un choyo nuevo" means I landed a new job.
“I have to go to work even though it's Sunday.”
“I got a new job at an office downtown.”

Encachimbado
Extremely angry and furious, at the maximum level of irritation and on the verge of an impulsive reaction. In Colombia and Honduras, when someone is encachimbado they are at the point where words fail them and space is the best thing you can give them.
