See Pidgin English translation So some people don't even know their pidgin?

Chook is not choke and are not pronounced alike.
Chook is NOT itchy!
Chook is used when somethng pointed, sharp or not, touches you or someone else.
So chook, depending on the context, means pierce, puncture, poke, prick, etc.

All the pidgin English professors on Nairaland I hail you.

In short, it is not a word from the english language. It is, perhaps, one of those words invented by our creative use of the language.

Chook came from the jamaican word jook which came to west africa when some of our people were taking as slaves there. We didn't invent it nor pidgin itself

LMAO!

@All

What is wrong with our people? Why is the word 'chook' a problem of definition?

Chook in urban language means,

1. To wound or puncture using sharp object
2. An insult (Australian word for chicken), sentence, 'you bloody chook'
3. Lame or undesirable thing or person
4. Nigerian pidgin English for stab
5. Full of fail, not palatable

Nough said

This is embarassing! Impale is the word! Chook means to impale.!!

"chooku chooku dey chook me"?? please can anyone tell me the meaning?

Good one!

ckuku! ckuku!

itchhhhhhhhhh

I think first of all the little girl did not say it properly in pidin and that is the reason for all this confusion. the proper way to say it is: I don't like this bedsheet beacause it use to scratch me, (as in: t[i]hat thing they scratch me for bod[/i]y). So to correct her, she should say: I don't like that bedsheet beacuse it itches,

Translating the pidgin word "Chook" to English, depending on the context, it would be: prick, penetrate, poke, and maybe to have sex,

No nword is ever wrong is the meaning is understandable by the audience.
Gbam!!!!!
Oyinbo sef dey create words from nothing, so what the fuss about.
If there is no exact word look for nearest in meaning. PERIOD

the correct form is "prick", not the pidgin meaning, lol

Agreed.

[size=15pt]PRICK is the right word. But on a second thought, i wouldn't like my little angel running around the house and screaming "daddy daddy  junior is Pricking me with. . . . ., "

Lets embrace "chook" as a generalized Nigerian world and in the nearest future, it might find its way into the oxford dictionary[/size]

na wao! peeps are chooking themselves here ooooo!

@Poster,is it the upper class definition or lower class definition?

"chooku chooku dey chook me"?? please can anyone tell me the meaning?Huh

how many guys don chook for here?

I agree with the earlier posters on Page 1 (I can't believe this topic has gulped 3 pages already) but the word 'Chook' is as verasitle as the word 'Bleep' (you know what I really mean). It can be used in amny contexts in many ways like the one used by the last poster ^^

jollof,
i see you dey chook for corner yesterday!

@poster i think u shld ask pastor chris okotie am sure he wil know beta.
I think is depend on d context used b4 one can talk of adequate subsitute.
'chook' is nt queen's english but pidgin so avoid using it wen communicatin in standard english

it can either be poke or prick or pinch, depending on the context

Chooku chooku usually refers to a type of grass dat has lots of a spiny offshoot which detach from the plant on contact. The spiny offshoots tend to press through thin clothing to poke the skin hence the "chooku chooku dey chooku me". Kapise?

^^^^ That is "Loving Grass" very bountiful supply in the Niger-Delta regions
