- "Do it and I'll blast your choobies all across the back wall."
- ―Karl Mathieu Ancher
Choobies was a colloquial term used to refer to one's self or one's rear end,[2][3] e.g. "pull our choobies out of the conflagration."[2] The phrase "pain in the choobies" was an expression used for something that caused discomfort or was otherwise troublesome.[4]
Behind the scenes
The word is similar to the rude real-world word "ass."
"Pain in the choobies"[4] is similar to the real-world offensive idiom "pain in the ass/butt."[5]
