Edit
The act of squeezing or holding the neck in an attempt to restrict movement and/or breathing, often used as an attack meant to render someone unconscious or kill them.
For danbooru purposes, moves involving a strangle that could be called a choke (e.g. choke_hold) implicate strangling and should not be tagged choking.
Often goes with asphyxiation and coughing, but neither is required.
The less violent form of this is hands on another's neck.
