Here is the twist! You've surely heard "chilchil-chi mothada," but it may surprise you that "chilchil-hada" is actually a compliment. "Chilchil-hada" is, properly speaking, a positive word meaning "clean and neat, free of slovenliness" and "upright and capable in temperament or in getting things done." It can also describe a tree or a head of hair that has grown long, full, and healthy. The trouble is that we almost always pair it with negatives — "mothada" or "anta" — using it only in the negative form "chilchil-chi mothada," so the base word itself came to be misread as something unflattering. In short, "chilchil-hada" is the good word, and "chilchil-chi mothada" is what points out a flaw. One more note: the common phrase "chilchil-matji mothada" is grammatically awkward. Since "chilchil-matda" is already a coarse way of saying "chilchil-hada," tacking another negative onto it ties the logic in knots.
