/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.
