/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.”
