/Sounds like 'gwah-TAH-soh'/
A hard, painful fall or a massive blow — the kind of impact that echoes across the room and leaves a mark. In Venezuela and Cuba, guatazo is the word for those spectacular crashes: falling off a bike, slipping on wet floors, or catching a punch that sends you sideways.
"Se dio un guatazo bajando las escaleras. → "She took a massive fall going down the stairs."
"¡Qué guatazo te metiste en la cancha! → "That was a brutal wipeout on the court!"
