On the use of katakana and チクる


The full sentence is:

> 気にしないでコレ全然アレじゃねぇから 間違ってもチクんじゃねーぞ

And I'm having trouble deciphering those katakana, コレ and アレ are probably a
way to emphasize これ and あれ, but what about チク? Is it replacing a kanji?




This is my first time posting here. I hope it's helpful. Here's my
understanding of the sentence. I think it's right. But I'm not a native
speaker or anything. Yes the katakana is just to emphasize, and チクる is
tattle/rat on. Here's a breakdown:

気にしないで don't worry about it

コレ全然アレじゃねぇ (これは全然あれじゃない） 'this' is not 'that'(other thing) at all. So he's
saying 'this isn't what you think it is'

から so

間違っても in this case it kind of means 'no matter what', or 'you'd better (not).
Technically it's the same as どんなことがあっても or 絶対に. If you can stretch your
imagination a bit, it's like 'don't do (whatever), not even by mistake'

チクんじゃねーぞ I'd say in this case 'don't rat on me' or 'keep your mouth shut'
would be appropriate.

OK. Let's put it together, and make it sound like somewhat natural English
(haha).

**"Don't worry about it. This totally isn't what you think. So you better keep
your mouth shut about it!"**

Hope that makes sense.
