Chinese nuts is an expression, that you would use to scare someone, or fill an awkward silence. This derived in a chinese class in school one day, when the teacher left the class room and there was a still silence. It is easy and fun to use, you have to say this word in a high pitch voice and drag the "nuts" out loud and say the "u" as an "a". This term and voice also was derived from the movie - the hangover - when Chung screams this.

The visceral pain felt by a child, even an adult child, when his or her parent says or does something that is extremely uncool, embarrassing, or otherwise objectionable.
The feeling is at times similar to embarrassment but also can imply regret or disagreement with the parent’s behavior.
From the Yiddish “eltern” meaning parents and the German “Schmerzen” meaning pain, literally “parent pain.”
