English Translation

The waist is a constricted part of the human body where the hips, stomach, and back meet. The waist helps to keep trousers from falling down when a person wears them. A 'chiuno' (waist) is also a habit of a man who is overly fond of sleeping with women. You friend, you will end up causing us trouble with that 'chiuno' of yours.
