QuoteOkay, well, I've lived in Texas all my life, but I definitely do not "chuck" anything in the trash. Chuck refers to a person's name, food (like ground beef), or vomiting. "Chunking" something in the trash is like taking a chunk of something and throwing it away...
Quote
Main Entry: 3 chuck
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1583
1 : PAT, TAP
2 a : TOSS b : DISCARDc : DISMISS, OUST -- used especially with out
3 : to have done with
Main Entry: 2 chunk
Function: intransitive verb
Etymology: imitative
Date: 1890
: to make a dull plunging or explosive sound
According to the Dictionary CHUNK has nothing to do with throwing something away. Might it come from the sound a trash can makes when you drop something heavy in it?
i think the superfluous 'n' is like the r's that disappear form wordslike 'car' and 'yard' in the new england area, and make their way to texas and show up in words like 'warsh (wash)' 
the big question is who's missing n's?

Quite possible...and I wasn't defining from the dictionary. I was defining from what I grew up hearing and saying. Again, Texas born and bred--don't forget that southerners speak a different language, or at least a different dialect!

I toss things in the trash
I shitcan things
I throw things away
I chunk things
All work for me here in North Carolina

P.S. Other "southern dictionary" terms:
sensuous--as in "Sensuous up, could you grab me a Shiner?"
y'antoo--means "would you like to?"
ayt--"alright"
fixing to--about to do something, as in "Are you ever going to 'chunk' that old pair of shoes?", the answer "I was fixing to do that right now."
Try some Jeff Foxworthy, "You Might Be a Redneck" type stuff, or perhaps Bill Engvell. They are both hilarious, especially the Bill Engvell "Here's Your Sign" routine. You can find them both on Kazaa, I'm sure. They explain a lot about southern people and the way they talk and act. It's a little over the top, but still rings of truth!

Yeah I understand how those words all came into play...
sensuous = Since + you + is
y'antoo = you + want + to
ayt = all + right
fixing to = This is actually proper usage in the dinctionary.
I was just curious to how chuck became chunk... I'm searching for the logic in it.

Ha, just the differences in how we talk in different parts of the country.
Down here in the south we say ya'll when refering to groups of people. Ya'll northerners say you's guys.
We drinks cokes, regardless of what it is and others say soda pops.
And we chunk things while you's guys chuck things.
I love this language!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! I forgot the "coke" one. That is definitely important!
However, y'all is no longer only a southern term...it has spread north and west. I've heard more people start to use it, and it's great! "Southern English" is becoming a widespread dialect.

Chunking - very poor quality canned Chinese food.

Yes, you are correct.
"Fixing to" is the translation for those north of you and me!

I saw them doing the Blue Collar Comedy Tour live in Florida. Hysterical. They filmed parts of the tour and there is a movie of the same name. When they returned for the movie premiere, the 4 of them stood around and signed autographs.
Of the famous people that I have met, Jeff Foxworthy seems like one of the few really down-to-earth ones. He told me he was just a married guy with kids and this was his job.
A lot of their humor is based on stories, not just jokes. I also liked the "here's your sign" stuff.

You're right, I've always thought Jeff Foxworthy was very real. And the fact that they ARE stories--even though sometimes exaggerated a little--is what makes it so very funny!

Was a kid I knew growing up that always said "plug it out" instead of "unplug". Got a Mexican buddy that calls everything he's standing on the "floor", I mean, grass, dirt whatever.
