I've been wondering the same thing.  I've tried it every time the letters are available...

I must admit, I tried it too, but it doesn't seem to be in any dictionaries.

The list that is the basis for Chihuahua, YAWL, includes tsk, but of course, that's too short for Chi. However, you can play tsked and tsking. You can even play tsktsk, which I suppose is an example of multi-tsking.

Sorry, have never heard of that one being used with only consonants and no vowels.  Might be a local thing.
