Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "CHOON" (as in "choose") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

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."

Examples

You're so clueless! I already explained it three times.

Don't be careless, look both ways before crossing.

Regional synonyms

Ecuadorian expression meaning you habitually or regularly do something. The "le" is a signature Ecuadorian quirk, equivalent to "I usually" or "I tend to."
