Chalking is slang for marking or writing on a surface, usually public property, often with chalk or a similar substance. It is commonly used in the context of graffiti, political messages, or advertising.

Chalking involves creating markings or drawings on surfaces using chalk or a similar medium. It is often done in a way that is visible to the public and can serve various purposes such as conveying messages, expressing political opinions, or promoting products or events.
