EN: knick-knacks
All the little things you have to deal with that aren't the main event. "Ay, dami pang chuchu bago matapos 'tong project." It's the admin work of life, the side quests you didn't sign up for, the miscellaneous folder on your desktop.
Likely from 'tsu-tsu' or related to Swardspeak. It can also be an onomatopoeia for idle chatter.
Often used in the plural form 'chuchu-chuchu' or with 'ka-' as 'ka-chuchuhan' to mean trivial matters or nonsense.
🇵🇭 Tigilan mo na 'yang mga chuchu na 'yan at mag-focus tayo sa importante.
