A regional British term for a conker — the hard, shiny brown seed of the horse chestnut tree, beloved by children for the traditional playground game of the same name. In the game of conkers, each player threads their conker on a string and takes turns trying to smash their opponent's. 'Cheggie' is the kind of local dialect word that makes British regional language so delightful — fully understood by anyone who grew up using it, completely opaque to outsiders.
He found a massive cheggie under the chestnut tree and spent all afternoon hardening it in vinegar for the match.
