Note
One spelling does triple duty, because the verb chef has three lives. Most often it means cooking for a living, an informal use: she cheffed in Lyon for years. In Multicultural London English it is a transitive verb for stabbing, so 'he got cheffed' means knifed, not fed. Online it can mean impressing others. Context and register tell them apart, so keep the slang uses out of formal writing.
