WhatACuteBitch.com would be a perfectly valid name for a puppy breeding web site, but no one would seriously consider that for a brand. ChinChin.com could be a funny name for, I don't know, a Macromedia flash games site or something, but Japanese visitors might be put off. It's a funny world out there. Chris -- Christopher S.

Secondly, we have already spoken with several spanish and mexican people and they do not think that mychingo is vulgar in any sense, based on the actual contextual usage. Lastly, "chingo" is computer jargon for "Chat Lingo" as can be referenced here <a href="http://www.sharpened.net/glossary/acronym.php?CHINGO" rel="nofollow">http://www.sharpened.net/glossary/acronym.php?CHINGO</a> First of all, since when do we rule our lives by an entry in “Urban Slang Dictionaries”?
