Meaning and pronunciation

Pronunciation: /t͡ʃæk/

Verb

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.

Noun

A snack or light hasty meal.

Noun

A cheek (part of the face).
