Chuck is the yellow, triangular bird from Angry Birds, the puzzle game developed by Rovio and first released in 2009. In the game, Chuck can receive a speed boost while flying, dashing forward much faster than the other birds, and that quick burst became one of his most recognisable traits. As gameplay videos, fan edits and short-form clips spread online, his dash sound was lifted out of its original context and reused as a shorthand for sudden speed. It remains popular because it is short, instantly readable and tied to a character many players remember from the mobile era.
