Chukhan is a male unsightly man who walks in old and worn clothes. Synonyms are such words: homeless, naughty girl, slut and nonsense. Perhaps related to the word "ingot".
Origin of the word
The word "chukhan" appeared in everyday life due to criminal slang. In their understanding, the chukhan is not a very good looking dirty person who does not follow personal hygiene, which is omitted morally or physically. Such a man is despised by all, crushed and broken.
Also, in communication this word is used by young people. Young people, in most cases, use it as an offensive call, calling another person that way, without giving a true meaning to the word and regardless of the opponent’s appearance.
What is Chukhan?
In addition to insulting callbacks among young people and people who have visited not so distant places, the word "chukhan" has other meanings. In the old days, the surname Chukhan was quite common, which originated from a similar nickname. Such a nickname, according to one hypothesis, was formed from the dialect common noun "chukha", which meant "a kind of caftan with zipper sleeves."
Most likely, the nickname belonged to the number of “professional” names, which indicated the type of activity of the founder of this surname. The man who was called "Chukhan" - it could be, for example, a tailor or a clothing merchant. There is a possibility that the basis for such a nickname was the word "chooh" - which was understood as "a cover for the gun located at the saddle", "an ingot of cast iron or lead."
In this case, “chukhan” - it could be a person, a tanner or a blacksmith by his profession. According to another available version, the appearance of this nickname was associated with the verb "chuhat" - "induce a horse", "click pigs", "recognize by taste or smell". Following from this, the “chukhan” could be a dashing rider, swineherd or such a person whose sense organs are exclusively developed.
