East Asian prank involving poking targets in the rear From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kanchō (カンチョー) is a prank performed by clasping the hands together in the shape of an imaginary gun and attempting to poke an unsuspecting victim's anus, often while exclaiming "Kan-CHO!".[1] It is a common prank among children in East Asian countries such as Japan.[2] In Korea, it is called ddongchim (Korean: 똥침).[3][4] In China, it is popularly called qiānnián shā (千年殺), as seen in the anime YuYu Hakusho during episode 67. The word "kanchō" is a slang adoption of the Japanese word for enema (浣腸, kanchō).[5] In accordance with widespread practice, the word is generally written in katakana when used in its slang sense, and in kanji when used for enemas in the medical sense.
In English-speaking countries, the term "goosing" generally refers to a comparatively mild grabbing of the buttocks with the tips of the fingers and thumb in imitation of a harmless bite on the butt from a goose. However, the kanchō prank may also be known as "goosing".[3]
