/Sounds like "KOH" (as in "coat") + "nyoh" (as in "onion")/

Meaning

A strong exclamation of anger, frustration, or surprise in Spain. It's a swear word that can be quite offensive depending on the context, much stronger than how it's used in Venezuela.

Examples

Coño, I messed up again!

What the coño is going on here?

/Sounds like "KOH" (as in "coat") + "nyoh" (as in "onion")/

Meaning

A Venezuelan filler word thrown into every sentence to express surprise, emotion, or emphasis. It's so natural in Venezuela that it barely counts as a swear word, it's just part of daily speech.

Examples

Coño, it's so hot today!

Coño, vale, I did not see that coming at all.
