The Australian word for the playground game of tag — one person is 'it' and everyone else runs for their life. Chasey is pure childhood, requiring zero equipment and generating maximum chaos. While the rest of the world calls it tag or 'it', Australians gave it their own spin, and the word perfectly captures the frantic, giggly energy of being chased across a schoolyard.
The kids spent all of lunch playing chasey and came back to class completely out of breath.
