Today I will talk about the Japanese phrase "kechon kechon."
"Kechon kechon" means to harm or punish someone thoroughly.
It is said that this word comes from a dialect of Wakayama prefecture "kechoni," meaning "very" or "extremely."
There are several etymologies of "kechoni" -- it comes from "kechi," meaning "stingy," comes from a word of the Genji Monogatari in Heian period, and so on, but the correct derivation has not been cleared yet.
Also, when the dialect "kechoni" spread all over Japan, it came to changed "kechon kechon."
"Kechon kechon" is a little violent expression, but I thinkt the sound is cute.

今日は「けちょんけちょん」という表現を紹介します。
「けちょんけちょん」とは、誰かを徹底的に痛めつけたり、やりこめるさまを表します。
この言葉は、「非常に」を意味する和歌山県の方言「けちょに」に由来すると言われています。
「けちょに」は「けち」に由来するとも、平安時代の源氏物語の言葉に由来するとも考えられていますが、詳しい語源はわかっていません。
これが日本全国に広がる際に、「けちょんけちょん」になったとされています。
「けちょんけちょん」は少し暴力的な表現ですが、その響きは可愛いと思います。

"Kechon kechon" means to harm or punish someone harshly thoroughly.
I think "harshly" is better word choice, but I don't know if it reflects the actual meaning. Saying "thoroughly is a little ambiguous.

Oh, I got something wrong. "Kechoni" is a word.
Actually, the Japanese word "hogen," which is often translated into "dialect" in English, means not only "dialect" but also "a (distinctive) word in the dialect."
