chunks
Substantial broken bits
Chunks are thick, solid pieces, usually irregularly shaped: chunks of ice, pineapple chunks, a chunk of cheese.
The word suggests substance and heft.
A chunk of time or money is a considerable amount: That project took a big chunk of my day.
In computing, chunks are segments of data processed together.
To chunk is to divide into pieces or, informally, to throw: He chunked the ball across the yard.
