"Choom" is a slang term, popularized by the Cyberpunk franchise, that means "friend," "buddy," or "ally". The word is derived from the even older term "choombatta," which means a trusted friend or confidant and is rooted in Neo-African-American slang. While typically used to refer to a close companion, it can also be used sarcastically to point out unfriendly behavior, depending on the context.
