Subject: Chinchy to Ginchy



I grew up close to Vermont and heard only [chin si]. However, in the early

'70's, a guy from inner-beltway D.C. in college with me used "ginchy" to

mean something really neat/cool/catchy, but a bit quirky, as opposed to

far-out, as awesome might have been said in 1972.
