Ezra Pound Chu is Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of a kiss. It doesn't literally translate. Oh, it's the sound of a kiss and not that of rodents? I always thought it was onomatopoeia for the sound of rodents.

I don't think this pronunciation is intentional all the time. It's probably an effect of speaking too fast.

LarryTheLlama666 I am terribly sorry but this word aggravates me.Does anyone else get annoyed by the word chu?It has no point really in my opinion. That isn't a word... is it? confused I always assumed it was something some kid made up to look "cool", and instead ended up looking moronic. XD

Okay, I don't use that word ever and never will but my friends use cha instead it's really dorky to say cha but when I'm with my friends we say say "whatcha doing" and stuff like that. I've never heard of chu. I think it sounds kind of stupid but so does cha! I also have a bad habit of saying Chi in japanese it means blood but I don't use it as that I just say it when I'm talking half the time I don't notice!

I thought chu was just a cute sound effect used in Japan.

Chu probably originated from accents and speaking too quickly. Admittedly, I often use "Wha'chya" when greeting friends in face to face speech. As for accents, think of a southerner, who might say "'Ey, wh'chu doin'?"
Did you know there are a group of people who want to change the whole English language to phonetics...?

That is annoying. They contain the same amount of letters why can't they just use the right word?

Okay this might sound rude since it seems like a lot of people care but, sorry I'm not seeing how this matters. It's just how people talk like I said earlier I say Chi all the time and no one ever complains to me about it. I'm just not really getting the point of this. But it is kind of a fun conversation.
That reminds me does any one else say stuff like "kinda and sorta" because I see people using the extra 'a' all the time but I never hear anyone say anything about it.
