Chigurh: It's a play on the word chigger---which is a small biting insect. When they happen to you, it's over quick, and not much can be done to avoid it.

I found the book MUCH better than the film; brilliantly unsettling as it was. Like much of Cormac McCarthy's work, you must be ready for the randomness of life; The absurdity of life---the fact that violence often comes out of nowhere. Do as well as you can to be ready for the stuff to hit the fan, because it WILL hit the fan!!! Just you wait and see...

Good though!!
