/Sounds like "kohs" (as in "coat") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "WEH" (as in "west") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
To cost a massive amount of effort, struggle, or sacrifice to achieve. Similar to "it cost me an arm and a leg" but focused on effort rather than money. Used across much of Latin America and Spain when something was brutally hard to pull off.
“Passing that class was a nightmare, I studied for weeks straight.”
“Getting that job took me a ton of interviews and tests.”
/Sounds like "kohs" (as in "coat") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "WEH" (as in "west") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
Something extremely expensive or difficult to achieve, when the price or effort is so absurdly high it makes you question all your life decisions. The expression for a cost that hurts your soul.

Atolondrado
A scatterbrained or impulsive person who acts without thinking and consistently makes a mess of things through pure recklessness. In Colombia and Venezuela, the atolondrado is always rushing but somehow always the last to arrive, with everything upside down and no idea what went wrong.
