CHINKO!
"The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

Well, Chimpo or Chim-chim is the elementary-school word for "penis" in Japan. It's kind of the affectionate term for it, seen as really cute. Probably has something to do with it.

I think you're thinking of Pachinko.
I'm guessing you probably don't want to make that mistake in Japan. ---------------------------------------------------------- "It really is fun to to stick burning objects into various orifices."

You're in Flame Wars, so it's all good.
The word seems to have origins that predate "chink" as a prejorative for Asians, so your theory doesn't seem too likely. In all probability, it's just a matter of linguistic serendipity. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "Science is the foot that kicks magic square in the nuts." -Scratch Fury |

claiming the "n-word" as your own is a bunch of crap.
If the asian population in this country isn't in quite the same disparaging situation though, so eh. ********************* And I'm better built to boot! ~Ranma |
