zhing-zhong

This entry, or one or more of its senses, has been nominated as derogatory pursuant to WT:DEROGATORY. It may be speedily deleted if it does not have at least three quotations meeting the attestation requirements within two weeks of the nomination date, that is, by 15 August 2023.

Rfv-sense "alternative form of ching chong". Rationale: 1) there is no alternative forms section on ching chong that mentions zhing-zhong- that should be the case if this is a bona fide alternative form. 2) I don't find this sense immediately present in the sources, and the more common sense of zhing-zhong is more like shanzhai. 3) Cites for all senses of zhing-zhong and ching chong welcomed, including cites for close variants. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:24, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

RFV-failed. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 11:42, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I will comment here that I have little understanding of this term, but at this time, I do think that Wiktionary doesn't have the evidence to say that this is an alternative form of ching chong (in the way Wiktionary thinks of 'alternative form'). I am 100% open to more evidence; I could be missing some huge area of evidence. There may be overlap between the terms for some senses. But I think this is probably the correct result for now, given what I know at this moment. I hope my understanding will grow. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:16, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
