Incorrect, unverified, and erroneous definition of word. In the Australian Vernacular the word 'Chocko' actually means an Army Reserve soldier, see Wikipedia article on list of Australian Military slang Xlh (talk) 15:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The nominator has it half-right; the term can mean a soldier in the Australian Army Reserve (short for "Chocolate Soldier), however in Sydney especially it is a common and widely used racist and derogatory term for "person of southern European or Middle Eastern appearance" (short for "Chocolate frog, which is rhyming slang for "wog"). Fans of Fat Pizza would certainly be aware of the second meaning. I have no doubt the term (in both meanings) can be adequately sourced, I am not so sure that it isn't better at wiktionary however. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
