Chookas
Sat, 16 Sept 2006, 12:50 pmI have a question. I know people say Chookas to wish people luck - it's been said to me quite a bit lately but does anyone know the story behind that saying? It's really beginning to bug me so anyone who knows please . . .let me know! lol

I got it back to front back to front as usual. there again they reckon the mind goes first, except with me, all the other bits went a while ago - so it can’t be that long to go now then?
As with break a leg, which was apparently derived because of a similar situation, which supposedly came about around the same time. That being a performer had to break the visual plane of the leg drops, before they got paid! - along with various other explanations of course.
Chookas is our own wee corner of tradition in theatre!
If only I could remember that flamin poem?
