(verb phrase)
/ˈchəkəl fər ə ˈsekənd/
Definition:
A brief, involuntary laugh-like reaction triggered by something so absurd, delusional, or unserious that full laughter isn’t warranted—but you simply can’t help yourself. Usually accompanied by an eye roll, a sharp exhale through the nose, or a knowing smirk.
Often used when someone says something so confidently wrong that your only response is internal amusement with a side of “be serious.”
