What Does This Word Mean Or Was It Just Made Up By Nigerians? by Esdb3(op): 6:27pm On Feb 02, 2015
The word "chook" I don't even know the actual spelling that is if there is a spelling.

When someone pokes you in the arm in Nigeriaa we say 'he has chooked me' instead of 'he has poked me'.

Please is this a real word?
