What does "Tchuip" mean then? I often see some version of this in Haitian tweets. Thanks.
It's teeth hissing.
It's probably a short code that texters use which means, "ignoring you" or other similar phrases.
Is "tchiupp" a cuss word?
No. It's teeth hissing. It's called tchwipe in Haitian Creole.
It's a hissing sound you make with your teeth (sucking air in) to let someone know you're ignoring them.
