Does ching chong actually mean anything?

Question

I was looking at documentaries about china and I still didnt hear anyone saying ching chong. where did rosie hear that?

Answer 1

Ching chong is an ethnic slur used to mock people of Chinese ancestry or other Asians who may look Chinese, and an onomatopoeia used to represent Chinese language speech patterns by those unfamiliar with them.

The most probable origin of the phrase "ching chong" is a mimicking of the Chinese language by those unfamiliar with it, as in reality the Chinese language does not have many "ch"-sounding words that are phonologically equivalent to the "ch" in the English language.
