Lol Alkas it's not "short or shot" it's slang for penis lol. Just like in German, "gift" translates to "poison". Language is amazing to me...

Lol. The Italian cin cin for cheers is very close to the Japanese slang chin chin for penis. Last trip to Italy with my wife and son (her son from Japan, but he refers to me as Dad)... I was always toasting in restaurants as the crowd would respond back. I'd laugh so hard, and he would feel so embarrassed LOL.
