A "Chingasm" is the extremely
fast movement of the chin and/or throat area. Although the causes of chingasms are unclear, it is
now confirmed that a loose
jaw bone could be the source of a chingasm. A chingasm is mildly painful and attained through an outragous amount of laughter. Chingasms have a semi-fatigueing affect on an individual, leaving them breathless and possibly
tired after the climax of the chingasm. If an individual attempts to talk during a chingasm, the
words will come out separated, and nearly illegible. It has also been proven that during a chingasm, the chin/throat is moving at such a velocity that low resolution videocameras are not able to capture it.
