A listener voicemail sparked a discussion about regional language differences when the listener questioned why members of the show say "chunk" instead of "chuck" when referring to throwing something.
The caller from Colorado explained that he had always used the word "chuck" and wondered whether "chunk" was a regional expression. Bobby immediately defended the use of "chunk" and asked everyone in the studio to identify where they were from and which word they used. He grew up in Mountain Pine, Arkansas, and uses "chunk." Amy, originally from Austin, Texas, agreed and said she also uses "chunk." Eddie, from McAllen, Texas, and Lunchbox, who also grew up in Austin, both said they use the same term.
The discussion shifted when members from other regions weighed in. Morgan, from Wichita, Kansas, said she uses "chuck," as did Raymundo, who is from Michigan/Wyoming. Scuba Steve, who was raised in Orlando, Florida, also said he uses "chuck." Abby, another Kansas native, sided with the "chuck" group as well. When Mike D from Waxahachie, Texas weighed in, he confirmed that he says "chunk," giving additional support to the Southern/Texas team.
The group concluded that the difference appeared to be regional. After checking online, they found information suggesting that "chunk" is commonly used in Texas and parts of the Southern United States, while "chuck" is used everywhere else.
