Chinfest

/ˈtʃɪnfɛst/ noun

Definition

A gathering or event where people talk extensively; a prolonged conversation or party focused mainly on talking and socializing.

Etymology

From 'chin' (to talk, from 'chin-wag') plus 'fest' (a suffix meaning festival or gathering, from German 'Fest'); American slang combining vernacular speech terminology.

Kelly Says

Chinfest perfectly captures American humor about socializing—we combined 'jaw-wag' slang with German festival culture to describe what every dinner party fears!
