More Observations...

CHOKE is a term used widely with the meaning "To Fail Under Pressure." In sport and gaming, a CHOKE is usually a defining loss of nerve that throws away what appeared to be a certain victory. Outside of sport and gaming, CHOKE is used to refer to a loss of nerve at a critical moment (e.g., freezing up when asking someone out on a date, or an unexpected attack of nerves when sitting an exam or attending a job interview). CHOKING is effectively the opposite of CLUTCHING (Achieving an unlikely victory or success).
