    Thanks! I was watching Mindful Murder some time ago and had the impression that whenever someone said Entschuldigung they were skipping the “En” in it. When I saw “Tscholigum” on OP’s post I thought I could be right about that, but apparently is just a coincidence?

      Its quite common to skip the En in “Entschuldigung”. What OP wrote is how its often pronounced.

      Tschuligom originated on ebay Kleinanzeigen (platform for classifieds, kinda like Craig’s list or FB Marketplace). Its a reasonable assumption, that it was first used by someone who’s first language is not German and who wrote it down like that. So not that far off.
