What Chocks Your Guff?
On the podcast, Brian talked about something that "chocks his guff" which I think means annoys him.
Let's embrace it. Our goal is simple: to make this a commonly used idiom (e.g., https://www.ef.edu/english-resources/english-idioms/).
So, what chocks your guff?
For me, it's when a basketball coach runs onto the floor during game play. Man, that really chocks my guff. I say, run him over!
Gamo Whisper for me.
A for sale sign just went up on my neighbor's house with a barking dog. Best day ever.
Unnecessary apostrophes chock the hell out of my guff.
Apostrophe(’) is a great album
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf chocked my guff today. They “upgraded” their app. Now, instead of $40 of purchases to get a free drink, I have to spend $85. That really chocks my guff.
$85 is the new $40. Just like Five Below is the new 5 and Dime.
I guess that’s ok since the price of a cup of coffee has gone up by the same percentage.

Literally just happened a few minutes ago in the championship game…lol
Sports announcers replacing the team nickname with “the Fighting-(Coach Name)s” e.g. “The fighting Harbaughs.”
*(please note this doesn’t apply to OSU because ain’t no one ever thought that Ryan Day fights)
Close Talkers. Especially the ones with bad breath like they have a rotten toof.
Regret. My guff is chock full of that stuff.
What chocks my guff is $5.50 bottles of water and shitty cell phone service at the Big House year after year.
And $9 bottles of water at the movie theater
When the plane lands early and you send up sitting there waiting for a gate.
When the airline knows that the plane is late and they refuse to tell you.
How about also the people who stand up as soon as the plane stops, even if they're in the back of the plane. There's a line people, it doesn't get you off the plan any faster to make everything crowded
As a taller person, I can guarantee you the I'm standing up as soon as possible to release myself from the medieval torture chamber known as an economy class seat.
This is guff.
Sorry. I couldn't resist using the word accurately but I don't mind the effort to enshrine Brian's mistake.
I always appreciate when someone uses a word properly. IMHO, I could see using the term "chock-full of guff" especially when listening to a Buckeye fan talk about losing the last 3 years for any variety of reasons other than actually admitting defeat, as an example.
Your example IS chock FULL of guff. Absolutely.
I'm not embracing that nonsense. Grinds my gears, pisses me off, chaps my ass are all acceptable though.
this kind of attitude really chocks my guff
Charcoal.
The five foul rule in college basketball really chocks my guff. Fouls in basketball are so hard for refs to get right that when they're called is largely arbitrary. Why let them decide that key players can't be on the court for big chunks of the game
Arizona, Florida,Texas, Missouri, Mississippi, and Ohio
People who whistle in public. There's a reason headphones and earbuds exist. No one wants to hear your shitty music - especially your loud shitty out-of-tune take on your shitty music.
Everyone that had something to say about "sign stealing" and nothing to say after winning the National Championship.
Slow, methodical, rigid types drive me crazy. Funny thing is I was an engineering manager for 10 years. I wonder if that actually is what made me this way. I sometimes would wonder if I wasn’t there to push them if they would ever complete a project.
People in grocery stores who pull their cart from the side taking up twice the amount of space in an aisle. They are designed to be pushed from behind..........you moron!
