ACHICHI ("they're in love") is a gesture children sometimes use to tease openly affectionate young couples–kind of like your little sister wrapping her arms around her body and making a smooching noise. The phrase is also used as an exclamation when they touch something hot.
Recommended use: Forgo the gesture altogether (who are we kidding, it's annoying), but enjoy this expression's cute sound by saying it out loud with glee (Achichi!!!!).
