OK, heard this on a course I was on today. It was mentioned in a Project management concept.
But... then someone said that it meant something completely different where he came from, which was Oxfordshire.
It's obviously rude - so can anyone explain - in not too crude a manner?

The mind absorbs large amounts of information better if you break it down into smaller, logically related units e.g: 4517895235871450 is much harder to memorize than 4517 8952 3587 1450. Hence chunking.

Means to get things done one small piece at a time instead of trying to do everything at once.
As to the crude meaning....it could be anything.

I was taught and have taught using the chunking method its just taking information and teaching it in chucks or blocks people tend to retain it better this way

I know it to mean:
Presenting (or teaching) information in chunks.
Or learning in chunks.
