I think that's what the word is but it may have also been "Ochiji." Thanks in advance.

In what context did you hear this word? You can search for romanized edict entries here:

He can, but he won't find 'ochichi' there. It is important to know that the honorific 'o' or 'go' can be added to words - some more often then others.
I suspect the original poster is looking for お + ちち (and aren't we all? :relief: )

Haha, that's what I've thought of too.
乳(ちち)chichi means
1. breast (not chest but more specific body parts of women)
2. milk (what 1. produces...)

Some may be looking for 乳, but what the world really needs is a 父.

Still, I think ボール's guess is the more likely one. The honorific of 父 is おとうさん, etc.
