Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "poo" (as in "pool") + "CHAHR" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

Chilean slang for gossiping, snooping in other people's business, or eavesdropping on conversations you have no part in. A copuchento never misses a detail and then tells everyone about it.

Examples

Were you eavesdropping on our conversation? That is so shameless.

Stop nosing into other people's conversations. It is none of your business.

In the Dominican Republic, a hard hit or a brutal situation that knocks you flat out of nowhere. A chavonaso can be a physical punch, devastating news, or a sudden failure that nobody saw coming, something that leaves you stunned and unsure of what just happened.
