Ying Yang

Opposite forces intertwined

Ying yang is a common misspelling or mispronunciation of yin yang, the Chinese philosophical concept of complementary opposites—light and dark, active and passive—symbolized by a circle divided into interlocking black and white sections.

Separately, ying yang (or ying-yang) is slang for buttocks or anus: I'll kick you in the ying yang.

The slang may also refer to any unspecified body part or thing, often as a placeholder for something vulgar.
