/Sounds like "GAHN" (as in "garden") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A silly, clueless person who makes a fool of themselves without realizing it. In Mexico and Guatemala, the comparison to a goose references the bird's clumsy walk and goofy appearance.
“Do not be an idiot. That is obviously a trap.”
“He started singing on the bus and made a complete fool of himself.”
/Sounds like "GAHN" (as in "garden") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
In Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, a clumsy or awkward person who embarrasses themselves without realizing it. Borrowed from the image of a goose (ganso), an animal that walks without much grace, applied to someone who moves or speaks out of place at exactly the wrong moment.
“¡Qué ganso! Se tropezó al entrar a la reunión.”
“What a klutz! He tripped walking into the meeting.”
“No seas ganso y piensa antes de hablar.”
“Don't be a fool, think before you open your mouth.”

Tucazo
In Costa Rica, a hard hit or heavy impact, and also a big swig of liquor. Taking a "tucazo" means smacking into something or throwing back a strong drink.
