Superstitious Saturday Tchin Tchin
The phrase tchin tchin (chin chin) is a way to wish someone good
luck. It originated in China and means please
please - an invitation to have a
drink – like saying cheers. The
phrase was then passed on to soldiers in France which led to its current
popularity.
I have occasionally heard tchin tchin used backstage as a different way to wish performers good
luck, but it is most commonly used as a toast.
