Japanese Terms
- Fugu- Blow fish that the Japanese love to eat raw. However, it has a little bladder full of deadly toxin that if prepared wrong can kill you. A couple people die each year in Japan eating fugu.
- Gaijin- Literally, foriegn devil. means anyone not Japanese.
- Gomennassai: Please excuse me, sorry!
- Kaniji- a complicated alphabet borrowed from the Chinese. It has about 1800 characters but can be combined with their other two alphabets (hiragana and katakana) to make more words.
- Obaasan- grandmother or older woman. Wonderful and scary at the same time.
- Salaryman: A man who will work his entire life for one company. They work all day and then are expected to spend several hours at a bar with co-workers to maintain moral at work. They are often drunk in public.You should feel sorry for him even though he probably spent the whole night having his beer poured by a tasty looking bar hostess because the wife controls the finances of the family in Japan and he only has a small allowance to show for his work (and to keep him out of trouble with that bar hostess).
- Wakaremasen: I don't understand.
