Google only seems to go back to February 2001 on a simple search for "chuntey", and that ain't it. There's a mention of it being added to the Folklore FAQ (remember that?) a few days later than the oldest thread I can find though, so it must have been pretty new then. Which sounds about right. I can never remember whether Alan Maxwell made the original typo or came up with the "definition". Pretty sure it was the latter (it sounds like him), but it'd be fun to see it again. -- Duncan Snowden.
