This is what your teacher uses to write 'QUIET!' on the blackboard, producing that screeching sound that gives everyone goosebumps. Also the weapon of choice for a surprise quiz announcement. 'Get one whole sheet of paper' is scarier, but a fresh piece of **tisa** is a close second.
From Spanish "tiza" (chalk).
The English word "chalk" (or its Tagalized spelling 'tsok') is now more frequently used, especially by younger generations.
