File No. 198 Dogface ちんくしゃ
鼻の低い女性をからかう言葉。
A 1980s slang term used to call someone ugly. Nenji Ogata threw this insult at Tomi Kisaragi.
犬種のチン(目と鼻と口が中央に集まった顔)が、くしゃみをしたような顔立ちの人を指す。
In the original Japanese, the word he uses is “chinkusha,” derived from “chin” (Japanese Chin dog) and “kushami” (a sneeze). The Japanese Chin dog’s facial features are unusually close together, and the originator of this insult must have imagined that such a dog sneezing would be especially hard on the eyes.
While Kisaragi failed to recognize this old-fashioned retort, it was clear that it wasn’t a compliment.
