EN: gossip
The sound of tsismis brewing. "Ano na namang chukchak 'yan?" is the question you ask when you see your officemates huddled around the water cooler. It's the tea, the scoop, the lowdown, served fresh and hot.
From Filipino gay slang (Swardspeak). Its origin is colorful and can have other meanings, but it's most commonly understood as chatter or gossip.
Can also be used as a verb 'mag-chukchakan' meaning to gossip or chatter idly.
