A modern smartphone for many immediately associates with selfies and all kinds of applications. With the popularization of fashionable “pieces”, the dictionary of slang expressions is replenished. The older generation has not understood some phrases of youth for a long time. For example, chikinat - what is it? How to explain the meaning of this word to “unadvanced” grandmother?
Chikin - what is it?
This word comes from the English expression check in, which means "check in, register."
The verb of Englishism is inclined in the same way as words of similar origin. For example, log in sounds in our way like “login”, an arbitrary verb is “log in”.
If you turn on the logic, then the word "pick up" is more correct to write through "e", that is - "check in". However, when pronouncing, the vowel is unstressed, therefore, it is heard indistinctly. For this reason, everyone writes this word as they please.
Glamorous Chica Meaning
Even grandmother understands that a glamorous chika is a well-groomed girl who is fixated on her appearance and tries to comply with far-fetched standards of beauty. Such a chick has to perform rituals every day in order to confirm his advancement, to be, as they say, “in trend”.
“Chika”, “chikin” - words with the same root. Therefore, many believe that these two concepts are equivalent. Accordingly, “chikin” means to be a fashionable chick. Of course, this interpretation is incorrect.
Chikinitsya: application for what?
At first glance, it may seem that Russified Anglicism does not lend itself to common sense. We can not disagree. Chikin - it means to note the coordinates of your location in the application.
In order to "pick up" - the program is called and where to download it? So, if you are not already in the subject, then go ahead to new information.
Foursquare is the best geolocation service that allows you to “chip in” and share with your subscribers on social networks. The application can be easily downloaded from the Google Play market.
After installing the application on your smartphone, register via e-mail or through your Facebook account. After that, Foursquare will determine your location by itself. However, this requires access to the Internet.
Connect to the "trend", download the application - and now see where your friend is. Do not forget to brag about those places where you have been. Believe me, friends always know how to leave a comment under your photo.
