- Skookum abstract "Skookum is a Chinook Jargon word that has come into occasional use in the Pacific Northwest. It has a range of positive meanings. The word can mean \"good,\" \"strong,\" \"best,\" \"powerful,\" \"ultimate,\" or 'brave.' Something can be skookum, meaning \"really good\" or \"right on!,\" or \"excellent,\" or it can mean \"tough\" or \"durable.\" A skookum burger is either a big or a really tasty hamburger or both. Homecooked food described as skookum is delicious and hearty. A person described as skookum has a purpose and is on solid ground and in good health and spirits. When used in reference to another person, e.g. \"he's skookum,\" it conveys connotations of trustworthiness, reliability and honesty as well as (possibly but not necessarily) strength and size and hard-working.Skookum house means jail or prison, cf. the English euphemism \"the big house,\" but here meaning \"strong house.\" Skookum tumtum, lit. \"strong heart,\" is generally translated as \"brave\" or possibly \"good-hearted.\" In the Chinook language, skookum is a verb auxiliary, used similar to \"can\" or \"to be able.\" Another compound, though fallen out of use in modern British Columbia English, is skookum lacasset or strongbox.A related word skookumchuck means turbulent water or rapids in a stream or river, i.e. \"strong water\" (\"chuck\" is Chinook Jargon for \"water\" or \"stream\" or \"lake\"). There are three place names in British Columbia and one in Washington using this word. Of the British Columbia skookumchucks, one is a famous saltwater tidal flow narrows at the mouth of Sechelt Inlet, the others at rapids on the Lillooet and Columbia Rivers, and also Skookumchuck Rapids Provincial Park on the Shuswap River, just downstream from Mabel Lake in the Monashees region. The Skookumchuck River in Washington is a robust tributary of the Chehalis River. While the tidal flow rapids at the mouth of Sechelt Inlet is the Skookumchuck on the BC coast, the term is used in a general sense for other patches of rough water, typically tidal-exchange rapids at the mouths of other inlets or bays, which are a regular feature of the Inside Passage.".
