Two Boys Declared 'Team Weenie' at a Hot Spring. The Grannies Behind Them Had an Answer.

What's going on

A mom took her family to an onsen, a Japanese hot spring bath. Onsen baths are split by gender, with separate entrances marked by fabric curtains, so families part ways at the door. Her two young sons, pleased to have worked out the system, announced at full volume that "Team Weenie" was going this way, toward the men's side. The word they used, chinchin, is the cutesy term Japanese kids use for their private parts, and their dad was in the middle of telling them off for it.

That's when three elderly women walking behind them picked up the bit. One said that in that case, they must be "Team P⚫︎ssy," using the blunt adult word, which the mom censored in her post. Another added, "Let's give it all we've got." No scene, no big laugh, just some quiet giggling among themselves. The mom said she felt outclassed.

The first granny opened with hona, a word from the Kansai region around Osaka, which is known for its quick-fire comedic banter. Plenty of commenters confirmed that, in their experience, grandmas say that word far more casually than anyone else.

Comments

At the hot spring my boys announced at the top of their lungs, zero shame, “Team Weenie goes this way (the men’s bath)!” and while my husband was scolding them, the three grannies behind us went “Well then, we’re Team P⚫︎ssy” “Let’s give it all we’ve got” and just quietly giggled away. Completely different league.

温泉で息子ズが「チームちんちんはこっち（男湯）だね！」と何の悪びれもなく大声で宣言して夫に怒られてたら、後ろのおばあ3人衆が「ほな私らはチームおま⚫︎こね」「気張っていくわよ」と静かにキャッキャしてて、「格」が違った。

Even more than the granny who led the charge, it’s the second granny following up with “Let’s give it all we’ve got” who’s impressive. If they don’t normally do bits like this and still came back with that, I honestly want them as friends

先陣切ったおばあよりも｢気張っていくわよ｣で続けたセカンドおばあが凄い普段からこういった掛け合いしてなくてこの返しなんだったらもはや友達にほしいレベル

Grannies really do just say “p⚫︎ssy” like it’s nothing, huh

お婆さんってマジで普通にマンコって言うよね

Some people seem kinda weirded out, but old ladies genuinely say it a lot

なんか引いてる人いるけどほんまに婆さんとかは結構言う

I think this is how a word becomes something you can say casually, one bit at a time. P-Word Granny is a sexual liberator.

気軽に言えるようになるのはこういうのの積み重ねだと思うんだよな。OMMCネキは性の解放者だよ。

Dry and crude, love it. People nowadays are way too self-conscious about sex. If “dick” and “p⚫︎ssy” are enough to fluster you, no wonder the birth rate’s dropping

ドライかつガサツですごくいい現代人は性を意識しすぎなんだよちんこまんこくらいで動揺してたらそら少子化にもなるわ

Less “elegant madam,” more “savage old broad”

おばあでもマダムというよりはエグババア

Alright! Let’s keep it tight! Oh yeah!

よーし！締まっていこー！オー！

Shimatte ikō (“let’s keep it tight”) is a stock rally cry in Japanese team sports, the classic line a baseball catcher yells to get the fielders focused. Once the grannies had declared themselves a team, the pun was just sitting there.

I want this kind of wit

こういうセンス欲しい

I wanna be the kind of person who can come back with something like that

こういう返しができる人間になりたい

Not “Oh yeah!” It’s “Oh yeahhh❤”

オー！じゃなくてお゛ー❤でしょ

Aren’t they the ones doing the squeezing, though

締める側だろ

Guys have a hole that tightens too, y’know. Which one are we even talking about

男だって「締まる穴」あるやろどっちの話なんや

Oh, pipe down

やかましわ

Weenie firm. P⚫︎ssy tight. Life loose.

ちんちんは固くおま⚫︎こはキツく人生はゆるく

Don’t go wrapping it up all wise like that

いい感じにまとめんな

Quote of the era right here 😂

令和の名言きた😂

This cheered me up. Thank you

元気でました。ありがとう

Dressed up like a proverb when it’s just a dirty joke. That’s some advanced stuff

格言に見せかけて単なる下ネタなの高度すぎる

I’m making this my life motto

コレを私の座右の銘とします

I’d advise against that. (Reply from the person who came up with the motto)

やめときなさい。

My take

Within reason, laughing something like this off is probably the healthiest response. The boys will still be getting a talking-to from their parents, of course.
