But chesterfield, hucking and skookum are vanishing words. I haven't heard any of them in years except in conversations like this.
You still hear chesterfield in antique circles in the UK but I have never heard of hucking and skookum. Rocks are large stones so does skookum rocks mean enormous rocks?
