Choinch is anything and everything. This word can be used as a verb, adjective, noun, all of it. Such a word is not bogged down by futility of meaning.

A sweet, cuddly, mystical animal primarily found in the Northeastern United States. Little is known for certain about these magical beasts. It has been hypothesized that they are largely nocturnal as they are rarely seen during the daylight hours. Legend suggests that they may struggle with dehydration. Explorers who have happened upon chinchaglas maintain that they are wildly unpredictable and that "you never really know what they will do next." In addition, it has been said that these crafty critters have a bit of a penchant for misbehavior. Most other information on these charming creatures is based primarily on guesswork.
A veritable avalanche of chinchillas, as happens from time to time in the South American Andes. Chinchillas are known for their prolific mating habits, and over time, a dangerous chinchilla buildup can occur in elevated regions. Warming conditions lead to instability, and even minor sounds or vibrations can trigger a catastrophic chinchillanche.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
