Made by adding mang to chot. Maltz said you can't stick mang freely onto any verb (except, of course, in wordplay); it's not a nominalizing suffix.

E.T.: Does chotmang refer specifically to the surprise killing of a public/political figure, like the English word "assassination" does? Or is anyone who is the object of chot automatically the victim of chotmang?

MO: No, it's more like it has to be a political or public figure or something like that to be chotmang. A political figure could be the object of chot and the robbery victim could be the object of chot but only the political figure, you would associate with chotmang. It does have to be a political figure some kind of notoriety, some kind of prominence.

E.T.: Normal people are not the victim of chotmang.

MO: Right a robbery victim probably wouldn't be, you know, the victims of the Jack the Ripper were not.
