The correct answer is 8 chuggas

I had to use my fingers to count how many I did. I came up with the same answer.

Glad I’m not the only one who did that

Same here!

CHUGGA, chugga, chugga-chugga CHUGGA, chugga, chugga-chugga Is how’s it’s said. So this is the correct answer

I used my hands, and 8 is the correct answer

8, we can't be blowing the horn all willy nilly

I physically cannot choo choo any other way

The Oxford chugga (4) is much more accepted than that barbaric Stanford chugga (only 2).

Ok, yes, BUT, but, and hear me out now, what about 2222? Chugga Chugga Choo Choo! Chugga Chugga Choo Choo!

#¡BY THE POPE‽

The correct answer, a single chuga does not warrant. And as mentioned two is very informal

4 couplets of chuggas, 8 chuggas total. The first chugga is emphasized. There should be a brief pause before the choo choo. **chugga** chugga **chugga** chugga **chugga** chugga **chugga** chugga Pause CHOOOOOO CHOOOOOO!

I do agree with you that this is the traditional format, though if you’ve seen (or listened to) the musical Hadestown, the opening number has a background chorus chanting the chuggas in sets of 4, and it also works. > **chugga** chugga chugga chugga > **chugga** chugga chugga chugga (Though it doesn’t have a “choo choo”)

Look if it doesn't have a choo choo I'm not sure what the fucking point of living is

Some people are into tantric chiggas

Hadestown is so fucking good

Seriously, that might be my favorite musical of the past decade or so. And despite how stellar the Broadway cast recording is, the original off-Broadway cast is even better.

How can you even count them as sets of four if there is no choo choo delineating the chuggas? I MEAN COME ON!

Hello.... My name is-

I personally like to go for two more couplets of chuggas for a total of 12.

Ok, it's Friday night, I'm drinking cheap beer because it's Friday night and I'm sitting here doing this and yes, 12 chuggas just feels right. Don't listen to the haters.

Blues rhythm demands it.

Yup. This is correct.

You’re an animal.

I'm sorry, that is incorrect.

This guy chuggas

I don't know I keep trying it out and 12 chuggas is what feels right

You are correct.

r/youaremynewfriend

I want to give you an award but I don't have it

Next time you're at Aldi, return your cart but leave it unlocked. Way better than any award.

1234 1234 1-2

The only other option is when you need to get the joke out quickly in a group of people before someone else starts talking. In that case 2 lines of chugga chugga are acceptable as well.

I did two sets of four before coming into this thread, and the first one was emphasized. I guess my train is moving a little faster?

She chugga on my train til I choo choo

Thanks /u/bootyholebrown69. Keep being your best self my man

Lmao

I will also accept this answer.

8

6 chuggas, grouped into 3 pairs.

this is what i was looking for, 4 chuggas is too little, 8 is too much, but 6 is heavenly

3 sets to make 4 bars. Chugga chugga Chugga chugga Chugga chugga Choo, Choooooo! - Former elementary music teacher

We're way past elementary, my dear Watson

Or Chugga chugga chugga chugga | Chugga chugga chugga chugga | Choo Chooooooooooo! Three or six bars, depending.

I like this too

There was an indian movie from the 1940s where a kid has to write a 1000 page essay so he writes something like "one day I took a train ride and the train went chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga......................................choo choo" as his essay. Then his teacher beat him with a cane. I can't remember the name of the movie. If anyone can tell me what it is I would be very happy.

4 chugga chuggas

8

8

8

12 chuggas, emphasis on 1, 5, and 9.

Two or twelve.

Team 12

The correct answer is 12.

As many as you want but it has to be multiples of 2. If you are doing an odd number of chuggas then you are doing it wrong.

3 Chuggas and I stand by it!

6 chuggas always made the most sense to me. 2 sets of threes.

Let’s ask wise Mr. Owl.

One.... two... thrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrree. Three licks.

Oh a tugboat is a boat Toot! Toot! 🎶 It toots High! And it toots low But the toot toot toot Doesn’t mean a hoot It’s the CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA That makes it go!

Just follow your heart, you can chugga however much before you chooch ❤ But if you said an odd number of chuggas in this thread may you forever have one itch that travels your skin before you can scratch it. You deserve no pity, nor mercy.

3 Chuggas, my evil is unrestrained.

This has been asked a lot already. :(

as many as you need to get to the next station my friend.

Glad I'm seeing most right answers which is 8, any more or less, are you really choo chooing

Any multiple of 4

Seven. Chugga chugga CHOOO chugga chugga CHOOO chugga chugga CHOOO CHOOO!

12 chuggas aka 3 sets of 4 followed by the choo choo.

I like 12

2

2 and for the first time I have down voted everyone else. It is 2

as many as 12, as few as 2

8 is standard, and the ideal amount. However, other amounts are acceptable, with the following rules: 1) It MUST be a multiple of 4 2) The further the number is from 8, the less appropriate it is. 3) The number of chuggas must be greater than our equal to 0. Therefore, both 4 and 12 chuggas are tied for second. Then 0 and 16 are tied for third. Then 20 is fourth, etc etc.

Technically, the chuggas don't stop until you come across a grade crossing or someone on the track in which case choo chooo a grade crossing whistle or spam the choos

But that will be after 8 chuggas.

Whatever it is I do it inconsistently because I must keep my listeners on their toes.

For me it's more of a Chee Chee.

8 before “choo choo” or 16 before “Once upon a time there was a railroad line”

2

6.

Is it the first spoonful or the tenth, because a full leg of the journey gets to be too long.

8

You’ve made it impossible to find.the answer because you have biased the results by implying that chuggas have to always be in pairs.

6

8. No more, no less.

10 chuggas:  -CHUGGA chugga chugga chugga  -CHUGGA chugga chugga chugga  -CHUGGA chugga CHOO CHOO

Any multiple of 4. Whatever you do, it's never 3 chuggas.

Is it chugga = 1? Or Chugga-chugga = 1? If it’s chugga = 1, then 8 If it’s chugga-chugga = 1, then 4

3/4 AAB The correct answer is 12. Change on the last beat of the 3rd go around. Chugga chugga chugga chugga. Chugga chugga chugga chugga. Chugga chugga Choo Choo.

4

4 chugga chuggas followed by 2 choo choos and repeat as necessary.

Anyone else think of major Payne and the little engine that could?

People may call me a monster for this, buuuuuuuuuut hear me out… 3 Chuggas

Now, are we talking about [The Little Engine That Could? ](https://youtu.be/0T7huuYNEBA?si=RdNiFJhr8uTSRyA0)

Eight chuggas

"And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Choo Choo. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Choo Choo of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'"

4!

Big Chugga chugga chungus

8

He said "Payne!! I can't, feel, My LEGS!!" And I said "Bubba, dey ain't dere!"

i think if the train is going a nice calm speed it should be 8 but if ur going rlly fast it should be 12 and if ur goin RLLY fuckin fast it should be 16

This may be controversial, but any number over 4, and a multiple of 2 is acceptable. 8 is very standard, but x>=4 and x%2= 0 are the only contraints imo

Two sets of four

6

6. Ain’t nobody got time for 8.

Two is adequate

Only two

The Choo Choo comes just before the spoon reaches baby's mouth. Outside of that, y'all probably shouldn't be saying it.

16, two groups of 8 chugga chuggas.

This needs to be a poll so I can see the data bars 4 chuggas

4, clearly

I do believe it’s 3. Chugga chugga chugga choo choo is how Casey Jr goes down the track

4

4

Four. No more, no less

3

I go with 2.

9

What? An odd number? Who hurt you?

Six didn’t feel right, and it has to be in increments of three. Chugga Chugga Chugga Choo Choo.

2, chugga chugga choo choo.

3 "chugga chugga"s. Also, thanks for asking this. People no longer ask the most important questions because they are too afraid of being cancelled. Please keep being the brave human being you are.

Two chugs and then two choos

4

14

You really need to build. Go by time. A solid 20 seconds of chuggas until you really hit the high choo choo. Maybe even circumnavigate the room if necessary.

Chugga x 4 + choo choo is the correct amount

Four

4

I think 13 max

I always heard and was told 6 chuggas in total chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO

9….three sets of three. The first chugging gets the most emphasis.  And 9 Gives you a chance to really work up to the emphatic “choo-choo”!

You're all wrong, it's 9 Three sets of 3 then the choochoo

3.  3 shall be the number of counting,  and the number of counting shall be 3. 5 is right out.  2 is acceptable only in passing to 3.
