I did some more digging, and it turns out that "willy nilly" *is* a possible meaning for "cahin caha", but not the commonly used one, which is why I hadn't heard of it before and why it didn't show up in the dictionary (I've lived in France for a long time, so I've encountered the phrase before). So my apologies there. But, in that case, shouldn't both meanings be mentioned? Especially if "willy nilly" isn't the commonly used one. "Cahin caha" usually shows up as an adverb to describe rough, irregular movement (like driving over rocky terrain or limping).
