Choked Up audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Choked-up" — adjective, pronounced /tʃoʊkt ʌp/, with the stress on "choked".
Narrator: It describes the physical and emotional sensation of being unable to speak due to a rush of strong, usually sad or sentimental, feeling.
Narrator: In plain English, it means having a lump in your throat because you are about to cry or are deeply moved.
Narrator: The term is formed from the verb to choke, reflecting the involuntary tightening of the throat muscles during intense emotional distress.
Narrator: A common collocation is "getting choked-up," which identifies the precise moment an individual becomes overwhelmed by sentiment.
Narrator: It differs from being merely sad because it specifically emphasises the physical obstruction in the throat and the temporary inability to articulate words.
Narrator: You might also be choked-up by a sudden sense of pride or gratitude, not just by grief or sorrow.
Narrator: This term is frequently used in creative writing, acting critiques, and descriptive journalistic reporting.
Narrator: So remember: when your emotions are so potent they physically inhibit your ability to talk, you are officially feeling choked-up.
