Prince Harry’s New Job Title (Japanese For Penis) Trends In Japan

Prince Harry’s new job title caused a wave of hilarity to ensue with Japanese Twitter users. The title at his company BetterUp, a health and wellness company, has been designated as the Chief Impact Officer. Or CHIMPO for short.

CHIMPO is the Japanese word for penis.

An article from Page Six wrote:

“Prince Harry is drawing some chuckles for his new gig at a California startup, where he is known by the cockeyed acronym “CHIMPO” – which means “penis” in Japan.

The Duke of Sussex has been named chief impact officer of BetterUp Inc., an online coaching and mental health firm, where he told the Wall Street Journal that he plans ‘to help create impact in people’s lives.'”

The CHIMPO of BetterUP is quite the title. 

It comes as no surprise that Japanese Twitter is using Prince Harry’s new job title to its fullest comedy potential.

“What are you laughing at? He’s a splendid CHIMPO.” https://t.co/0LuDYsp50J
