Can anyone translate or paraphrase this sentence for me?
"How much could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" I know woodchuck is a kind of mouse, but i just don't understand the phrase "chuck wood", does it mean the digging holes in a wood or bite the wood?

Question

Answer

Chuck means to throw or toss.  What you have to understand is that the word were chosen for the way they sounded together, not for any special meaning.
It really does not make any real sense.
It's a little like "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."  It is used as a "tongue twister", just because of the way it sounds.

Answer

Thanks, i don't think a woodchuck is strong enough to chuck a wood, am i right?

Answer

chuck is slang for throw. "Where's the water bottle ? I chucked it in the bin" (I threw it in the rubbish)
