Two (or more) meanings of "choked"
I read the following dialogue in the comics:
A: But I almost choked.
D: No need to dig out the old jokes.
In comments to the comic they write that it should be "suffocated", not "choked". I guess this is a pun (dirty?), so I found other meanings of "choked" in Google. One of them is "girl that gets fatalitized". When I search for "fatalitized", Google again gives out the definitions of the word "choked". I also found dirty jokes with "choked", but I didn't understand meaning of the jokes. So what are the meanings of these words?

"To choke" - doesn't really mean to suffocate as such, but usually to have something caught in your throat - for example a piece of food or liquid. e.g "I nearly choked on that water!" or "I sometimes feel myself choking when I eat a lot of pasta"
However, in British English a colloquial way of using the verb "to choke" can mean to panic or freeze under pressure.
I.e. "That footballer tends to choke on the big stage" - This could mean that a player tends to panic in big matches.
Hope this helps.

What Paul said. In this case, it is likely to freeze under pressure.
