AARGH!!!

to "hok a chainik" is to BANG A TEAKETTLE!

"Hoking mir mit chinik" means DON'T BANG MY TEAKETTLE!!!

Neither expression has ANYTHING to do with China. To "bang a tea
kettle" means to talk a great deal, yammer on, or talk nonsense, and
"don't bang my tea kettle" means "don't bother me with your silly talk".
