Chichis

/ˈtʃɪtʃiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of chichi; either breasts (vulgar slang) or a variant spelling of chichis as a decorative or frivolous object.

Etymology

From Spanish chichi (trinket, ornament) or French origins; the noun can mean a small dog or a showy decoration, with the body-part meaning being a vulgar extension.

Kelly Says

Chichi perfectly demonstrates semantic drift—it started meaning 'showy trinket,' evolved into slang for small decorative dogs, and later picked up vulgar anatomical meanings in different English-speaking regions.
