The term 'chokbar' is a colloquial French slang expression used predominantly among teenagers and young adults to convey being 'shocked' or 'surprised'. Pronounced roughly as "show-kuh-bar", it derives from the French verb 'choquer'. Young speakers can add emphasis by saying 'chokbar de bz', which introduces a vulgar connotation. While 'chokbar' is common in informal conversations, more formal alternatives such as 'je suis choqué' or 'je suis bouleversé' exist for expressing similar feelings in less casual settings. Examples of usage illustrate its application in contemporary contexts.
The word 'chokbar' comes from the French verb 'choquer', meaning 'to shock or offend', and is often used among young people.
