Today's big question at work: The origins of the word "chuck" after I called one of the ladies in the office "chuck" as in "Thanks chuck". Which got me a "?"
I did a google on "Chuck definition origins Yorkshire" and came up with nothing.
I had to get it with "Chuck endearment".
Turns out it all started with Shakespeare and is a derivitave of "chick". Hummm.
Now you know not to call your male friends "chuck", unless of course, that's their name...

Sure is ducky-egg.
