The definition of "chivvy" is very similar to the word "shimmy" which described the persistent, hurried motion of each movement as one slowly urges their entire body weight upwards as they climb a hanging rope, suggesting a common usage in regions such as Ireland where various languages predicated a slurring-style accent by those who took note of the musical differences between languages. 24.112.248.42 18:41, 7 April 2019 (UTC)Kevin Terlecky, 4/7/2019, word of the dayReply
