Chúmbale

[ovejanegra]

I have heard that chúmbale, in Argentina, is a command given to a dog, but I don't understand what it means. Bark? Fetch? Attack someone? Please explain.
Gracias por adelantado.

So it is a Spanish equivalent of "sick 'im"?

I looked for chumbar and chumar in the DRAE and didn't find either. Where did this verb come from? Who uses it, other than Argentinians?

 

[Marxelo]

Sería como una orden de ataque, aunque ya casi nadie la usa.

Uruguayans.

Viene del portugués "chumbo" = bala.
