On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
What's the question here?
It should be "chute". It's a rodeo metaphor. But obviously lots of
people don't know this, and spell it a different way.
A bit like "tow the line".

I suppose we can take it for granite that this one will be in there

Well, it's not written in stone.
