I saw the Ting-Tings at Lolla this year because I there weren't any bands in that time slot I really wanted to see. I was pleasantly surprised.

Penis.

The Ting-Tings are like being nagged in musical form.

One of the worst bands I had the misfortune to review this year.

This is one of the best bands I had the fortune of finding this year.

Wait, the Japanese have a word for small penis?

From reading the comments above, farkers seem to hate on them...


Which of course means I like them.


I actually think their album is pretty damn fun. I like fun.

A Japanese small penis?...


...so...what...is that like a micro small penis?

There is no "ti" sound in Japanese, nor do words end with an "ng" sound. There is, however, chin-chin (チンチン) which is probably how you'd transliterate Ting Ting but I think it is just penis, not necessarily small. Besides, some towns have a streetcar called the "chin chin train" -- a description of the bell ringing. It will occasionally elicit a smile even though it's a tired old homonym, but there are so few syllables in Japanese that such "puns" are generally ignored or not noticed, particularly when talking about foreign words (or band names, etc).

Anyway as long as we're talking about Japanese genitals, let's switch the gender of the conversation. Photos please.
