What does CHOOF mean in Scrabble?
verb
AustralianNew Zealandinformal
To go or move off, especially in the phrase choof off.
Choof is Australian and New Zealand slang for leaving or heading away, almost always paired with off, as in choof off down the pub. The word imitates the puffing sound of an engine or a train pulling away, the same imagery behind chuff and chuffing, and it keeps that light, unhurried feel rather than suggesting a hurried exit. It belongs to relaxed spoken English and rarely appears in writing outside dialogue or informal messages.
