/Sounds like "CHOON" (as in "choose") + "doh" (as in "door")/
A clumsy, slow, or incompetent person. In El Salvador, this is what you call someone who just doesn't get it, the person you have to explain things to three times and they still mess it up. It's not super harsh but definitely not a compliment, more like an exasperated "come on, dude."
“You're so clueless! I already explained it three times.”
“Don't be careless, look both ways before crossing.”

Torear
To dodge, avoid, or sidestep someone or something you do not want to confront. In Mexico the bullfighting metaphor is perfect: the matador evades the bull without finishing it off. Someone who "torea" you keeps ducking the issue without ever resolving it.
