chewie

Jaw-working treat

Chewie is Australian slang for chewing gum: Got any chewie?

The word is informal and casual, more common in speech than writing.

Separately, Chewie is the nickname for Chewbacca, the Wookiee character from Star Wars, often used affectionately by fans: Han and Chewie make a great team.
