Chicha

Chicha es una palabra que cambia significados depende en el pais de origen. En Peru chicha morada es una bebida dulce hecho de maiz morado.En Colombia chicha de patilla es refresco popular. En Puerto Rico
chicha es el acto de sexo. Solamente puedo imaginar lo que pasa cuando un colombiano habla de su refresco de patilla con sus amigos portorriqueños Quiero saber si en Mexico y España se usa la palabra
chicha,y si se la usa que significa.

Como explica la RAE, acepción 4a, es una bebida de frutas (a veces fermentada) en todo Centroamérica. Nunca tenía nada que ver con carne.

There you go. This word appears to mean many things some of which are
not in RAE. If you are dealing with people from the Antilles, and come
across this word use precaution. To them, it is not a refreshing drink, nor
is it a meatloaf.

In México chicha or chichita mean nipple or breast, and by extension also refer to breast milk.

Le da chichita
- She breastfeeds him.
Quiere chichita - He wants some milk.
