chuckster

Someone who chucks something. Both citations seem one-off nonce usages, and one is capital-C Chuckster. Equinox ◑ 12:36, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Sure the term is heavily associated with Super Mario Sunshine, but on paper, the core concept of the word makes sense to me in a general setting, at least: Someone who chucks. For a purely hypothetical example, I'd have called someone who threw wine barrels a chuckster. Dandelion Sprout (talk) 12:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

@Dandelion Sprout: Sounds like Donkey Kong ;) The problem with "purely hypothetical examples" is that I could sensibly call someone who nothingizes a "nothingizer", but the evidence for that word's real existence just isn't there. Equinox ◑ 21:26, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

There are a lot of results for the name, as a nickname for a guy named "Chuck" as well as a last name people have (especially in Dicken's Old Curiosity Shop.) I can't find any results for what's supposed to be attested. (There was an ad for "Chuck Rocks" in the Jan. 1993 issue of Boy's Life that I thought referred to this sense, but didn't.) Also, maybe the Mario quote has ambiguous capitalization? Can I see a link to the quote? CitationsFreak (talk) 05:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

I guess this is the closest thing to a link to the quote: https://youtu.be/8ULZz0hXYSg?t=122 . I realised later that I should've used exclamation point instead of a period in the quote, but I didn't feel it was a critical concern at the time. In regards to brand ads, I found a rifle brand called Mossberg Chuckster dating back to 1961, but it was a pretty small brand and apparently ineligible as a definition.
