Probably OK - one kind but lazy editor put a Google Books search hidden on the page in case anyone wanted to search for it. --Gente como tú (talk) 13:55, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

chuck-up: a cheer? (naval slang)
Seen in Wilfred Granville's Sea Slang of the Twentieth Century (1950): "When a ship has been into action and covered herself with glory her sister ships usually give her a 'chuck-up' (cheer) as she comes into harbour." Difficult to find citations. Equinox ◑ 16:37, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
