Remember the thread where someone asked about a move her (Russian) coach called "chick tails?" We figured out the coach meant "choctaws." Well, on Tuesday, after I finished teaching, I went over to say hello to a Russian adult skater I know, and she wanted to show me a move her (Russian) coach had just taught her. She said it was called "chick tails," :laugh3, and it was in fact, choctaws!!! So, I guess it is a common Russian mis-pronunciation, and a pretty funny one too. I didn't laugh until I left the building.
