Definition of "chack" []

• To toss up the head frequently, as a horse to avoid the restraint of the bridle. (verb)
• To not broadcast a medal-winning or otherwise memorable or crucial figure skating performance. This only occurs in a live broadcast because the network has to decide which programs to show and which to cut in the interest of time. If a skater is low in the rankings and several big names are set to skate later, that performance may be cut. (verb)
