Kiss kiss!

I'm working in Japan for a year. I discovered a shop near my work where a guy sells jewellery and joss sticks from India. There was a gorgeous necklace shaped like a butterfly, so I told the guy I'd be back for it when I got paid. Imagine his shock when, the following week, I marched in and said, I come back for the chu chu. I thought I'd said that I'd come back for the butterfly (cho cho). What I'd really said was that I'd come back for a 'kiss'.
