I remember this delightful word from stage combat training. It's the sound of being "struck," usually made by the victim rather than the aggressor (with notable exceptions), to complete the illusion of there being actual contact.
Nowadays I hear guys at work using the word to describe chipping a flint into the proper shape/size for use in a musket.
You have a strange job.
