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

/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "hoo" (as in "who") + "DEHZ" (as in "debt")/

Meaning

In Peru, the go-to word for something utterly stupid, a senseless decision, or an action that makes absolutely no logical sense. It calls out the act (and often the person behind it) with zero sugar-coating.

Examples

Eso que hiciste fue una cojudez del tamaño del mundo.

What you did was the dumbest thing imaginable.

No hagas cojudeces y piensa antes de actuar.

Stop doing stupid stuff and think before you act.

Word family

A person with red or reddish hair. In Peru, suco is the common term for redheads, who stand out in a country where most people have dark hair, it's descriptive and usually said with affectionate curiosity rather than mockery.
