If you must know, my parents came from pretty hardscrab

I’ve been on so many primetime shows that were cancelled – after one episode, after 10 episodes, after just one season. I got used to that. But I found myself choking up a bit at ‘OLTL.’ It was really hard to say goodbye to those people. It was not the way we wanted to go out.
Michael Easton
For me, ‘choking’ is just another term in golf.
Johnny Miller
I’ve never owned an actual trail-running shoe myself, but maybe I should. My favorite paths are fraught with peril, much of it skulking at shoelace level. A rock, a root, an errant pine cone. Wham, and you’re down, choking in dust and picking pebbles from wounds in your forearms and knees.
Don Kardong

I love watching Anthony Kim play, but I’m not a fan of the way he grips down a good two inches on his full-swing shots. Choking down lightens the club’s swing weight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer. It also makes it difficult to hit the ball high enough for all situations.
Lee Trevino
The hardest part was four days after the surgery – my heart rate was very high, I was choking, I couldn’t cough, and I started crying. And it was seeing the way my chest looked, definitely deformed. I’m a fit guy, I’m a skinny guy, but to look in the mirror I was bloated with all of the meds.
