vernacular word equivalent to ‘fuck’; it is therefore likely to

have entered English slang via the British Raj.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="Chinese-Army-technique.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="choke.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chinese Army technique<75></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>choke</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
