Bandera de Venezuela

/Sounds like 'koh-NYAH-soh'/

A really hard hit, or something incredibly boring and painful to sit through. In Venezuela and Spain, coñazo covers both: a punch that leaves you seeing stars, and that meeting or lecture that feels like it's been going on for three days.

Example

"Me di un coñazo con el espejo del carro."

"Esa reunión fue un coñazo, no terminaba nunca. → I smacked myself hard on the car mirror."

"That meeting was a total drag, it never ended."

Regional synonyms:

A close friend, trusted ally, and life partner in crime with whom you share a deep bond. In Mexico and Latin America, your compadre is your brother from another mother — loyal, reliable, and always there.
