Most recent Japanese word you've learned?

Yes, I think by itself it is just an alternate way to write ふち

It’s not a new word, but I was reminded of 耳年増 today.

Today I came across this monstrosity of pronunciation: 大祖父(おおおおじ)meaning “great grandfather”.

I’m shook. I always thought it was としおじいちゃん.

I spent way too long wondering why Leebo had just learned a level 33 word

Oh you are right, that is who he is! I could not for the life of me remember…

Is the fact that I’m not level 60 nor named leebo nor part of the James Craburn sect enough to top people off? This is more effective than I thought it would be lol.

不正 (ふせい)Means injustice. Just learned it on Wanikani. The word makes me think of batman and Gotham so I just like the word. Also, I just sped through about 38 lessons in one go. Is that too much or will I be ok?

It reminds me of another word I learned recently, 琴棋詩酒
I tried it out in the wild, but people don’t get it. I guess they just lack class.

Haha. Wait, is this even Japanese? I can’t find a definition for it. Are you sure it is not Chinese??

EDIT-it sounds great though, whatever it is. Harp-chess-poem-alcohol-ing sounds like a great time.

It’s definitely from long-ago China, but I don’t think it’s common in either language: 「琴棋詩酒」(きんきししゅ)の意味
