Definition: Meat from the shoulder of a cow or other animal.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve come across a word today, “chuck,” it seems to be a little tricky, isn't it? The dictionary tells us it’s "meat from the shoulder of a cow or other animal," which is quite specific, I agree. But “chuck” can also mean something else entirely – and that’s where things get interesting! It can also mean to throw with some force, you see? Like tossing a ball, or maybe even just letting go of something quickly. Think of it like this: “He chucked the rope,” meaning he threw it with a good heave-ho! So, “chuck” has two meanings – one relating to meat, and one relating to an action. It’s important to pay attention to how the word is used in a sentence to figure out which meaning is intended. Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on?
