【No. 1473】Chinchin Kamokamo (ちんちんかもかも - Making Out/Snuggling)

Chinchin Kamokamo

To describe that a woman and a man make out or snuggle each other, you can use the Japanese term chinchin kamokamo (ちんちんかもかも).

Chinchin (ちんちん) is an onomatopoeia that means that water is boiling, and it also means a feeling of jealousy.

Furthermore, since you might feel jealous when seeing snuggling couple, chinchin (ちんちん) can also mean such a feeling.

In addition, it is thought that kamokamo (かもかも) is added to chinchin just for adjusting the tones.

Incidentally, if you just say chinchin, it can be taken to mean an obscene thing.
ちんちんかもかも

男女が仲睦まじくしているさまを、日本語で「ちんちんかもかも」と言うことがあります。

「ちんちん」はお湯が沸くことを表す擬態語であり、嫉妬ややきもちなども表すことが出来ます。

さらに、男女が仲睦まじいさまを見ると嫉妬してしまうことから、「ちんちん」はそのような男女の仲を表すこともできます。

また、「かもかも」は言葉の調子を整えるために「ちんちん」につけられた語だと考えられています。

「ちんちん」だけだと、卑猥な意味にとられる可能性があるからかもしれません。

Yes, since microwaves in Japan emitted the sound チン (which is something like "ring" in English) when heating/warming was completed, we call heating up something in a microwave チンする. However, recent microwaves don't emit such sounds, young people might not understand the phrase チンする.
