why did you delete my comment?

I love the word "jingchak" as much as the word "chungjakka"...both mean the same thing....so I will continue to use "jingchak"..even in this I will not be your jingchak or your chungjakka!

Both words, unfailingly, make me laugh so much that even if I contain the sound of my laughter, the smile cannot be stopped...!

"jingchak", "chungjakka", what's that mean?

[deponti]

Just like, during a bhajan, the person using the brass cymbals simply echoes the beat and is careful never to "disagree"...we call people who *always* echo someone else's sentiments a "jingchak" or "chungjukka" (that is the sound of the cymbals being struck together, if you can visualize that!) It means, essentially as Wodehouse would classify them...a Yes Man or a Nodder.

Hah! Hah! Now that totally makes sense:-) Even the sound is correctly spelt (now that I know what it is;-))

I didn't have so much background info to this term. Generally, picture a cheezy little chorus of street musicians with finger / hanf cymbals. Each time you say anything, the chorus behind you pipes up with their "chungjakka"'s, announcing that you are great, the Lord is good and has obviously sent you (and your minstrels) to beat out the Lord's message.

Thus and therefore arise the personal group of following street musicians who "chungjakka" for you.
