Colloquial British term for the act of stealing or having stolen an item of interest. The term depicts the action of theft used in informal conversation, typically amongst youths. Originating in Scottish high schools the term has widely become used throughout England and is now recognised in most of the United Kingdom however the word does not appear in the Oxford English Dictionary and would be considered 'slang terminology'.

Verb; similar to yoink.
Originating in British schools, this is the acting of taking another's possession without owner's consent; albeit on a smaller scale. For example, you could chore someone's detention slip (usual reply: "Why should I care? You've just chored my ticket to Hell. Thanks."), whilst you couldn't chore something larger, eg. a quarry.
The chorification of this possession is almost always accompanied with a loud, high pitched squeal of "CHORED!"

a term which means to steal a tangible moveable good. the term has ironically been CHORED from the rich and beautiful language URDU and many claims this is a British word originating in Scottish high schools however if one was to look at an Urdu dictionary one would know this is an Urdu word which has been around for centuries.
