We were playing the game "Jenga" in class, and one of the Spanish-speaking students said that it was a bad word in Spanish.

No, not exactly, but pronounced a certain way, it does sound surprisingly close to a certain word that can be considered vulgar (at least in some Spanish speaking countries such as Mexico).

There is a word that sounds very similar and is rude. At the risk of offending someone who may read this if you will drop the "je" and replace it with "chi" you will probably have the word they are referring to.

Hi vhager
I have sent you a link via your "pm" as to the alternative meaning of this word. We do not give inappropriate explanations on the open forum.
