A friend of mine has a cat she named Chinchin. Everytime she tells a Japanese person her cat's name, the Japanese person would laugh and say it is a very rude word in Japanese but he/she wouldn't explain it to her. Is there a Japanese person out there who could help? Don't guess if you're not Japanese or have a good knowledge of the language.

When raising your glass and toasting your hosts in Japan, never make the mistake of shouting 'Chin chin!'. Chin-chin is a Japanese colloquial word meaning 'penis'. Here's what one Editor has to say about his efforts at diplomacy:
When I was working in Kawasaki city, I spent a lot of my early days getting a little bit drunk and emotional with my bosses after work. After a couple of Kirin lagers, cultural differences tossed aside in a spirit of global warming, I'd always end up looking them straight in the eyes, whereupon I'd raise my glass and scream into their faces,'Penis! Penis! Penis!'.

Many children in Japan have adopted and created the word chinchin , meaning... penis. Almost every country and culture kids always seem to make up a word meaning penis that even adults use. An example you might know is Willy in England, it means penis and is a very popular slang word just like Chinchin , hope I helped to everyone who wanted to know
