Chooch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The origin of the word Chooch has been under much debate. Some say the term is derived from the Italian word "ciuccio" and means jackass, dummy, idiot, or moron. A chooch is a person, who against better judgement, acts inappropriately. Others, particularly in the state of Massachusetts say it came from a single man that invented the word by accident. The man was trying to decide whether to call another man a "chick" or a "hooch" and instead called him a chooch. The man that was called Chooch has never been able to shake his identity associated with the word. In suburbs south of Boston, MA there have been posters, t-shirts, and popular myspace.com pages made about the man. Some also say that the tearm 'chooch' was developed to describe a male's vagina and then evloved into a tearm used to describe one man. Some others quotes on the word....
