Heavy Shower – el chubasco

(Pronounced choo-bahs-koh)

To remember that heavy shower is pronounced choo-bahs-koh (chubasco) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

On our picnic, we get caught in a heavy shower just as we were about to chew on our bass coated (chubasco) in breadcrumbs.

Chubasco is masculine, so it's el chubasco. Imagine an elephant in a heavy shower.
