Talk:zhing-zhong

RFV discussion: August 2023
Rfv-sense "alternative form of ching chong". Rationale: 1) there is no alternative forms section on ching chong that mentions zhing-zhong- that should be the case if this is a bona fide alternative form. 2) I don't find this sense immediately present in the sources, and the more common sense of zhing-zhong is more like shanzhai. 3) Cites for all senses of zhing-zhong and ching chong welcomed, including cites for close variants. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:24, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I will comment here that I have little understanding of this term, but at this time, I do think that Wiktionary doesn't have the evidence to say that this is an alternative form of ching chong (in the way Wiktionary thinks of 'alternative form'). I am 100% open to more evidence; I could be missing some huge area of evidence. There may be overlap between the terms for some senses. But I think this is probably the correct result for now, given what I know at this moment. I hope my understanding will grow. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:16, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
