sionnach commented on the word cacerolazo
A type of popular demonstration in which the wrath of the common people at perceived failed government policies (usually economic) is manifested by beating on pots and pans.
Particularly common in the Plaza de Mayo, in front of Buenos Aires' Casa Rosada (government house), during the protests of December 2001 which ultimately precipitated the fall of the Menem government (including the former president's departure by helicopter), and the "semana de cinco presidentes", which involved five different presidents in as many days.
The suffix "azo" generally indicates a blow of some kind and appears in other words such as "puñetazo" (a punch, or blow with the fist) and "golpeazo" (from "golpear", to strike).
Golazo, in soccer parlance, on the other hand, just means a particularly neatly executed goal.
