Comment"鼻をチンして" 43 hits,
"鼻をチーンして" 38 hits.

Normally don't need to say "鼻を" but that's to make it clear that we're not talking about a microwave here. Searching on チンする or チーンする (2) overwhelms (3) so I don't know how common (3) is but I've heard it a fair few times.

CommentSwapped headword order (3:1 for プレイ)


(1) is also used to mean 'sex play' (as 'play' can be in English for that matter). It comes up often enough in anime that I'm familiar with the usage but I don't know whether it's worth mentioning or not.

N.B. Quote above discussing staying awake in a boring class.

Editorial Comment It will be merged once the online database is available, and the entries with JIS212 kanji can be handled along with the regular (JIS208) ones. Yes, it's the old kanji form.
