Most recent Japanese word you've learned?

ohh the famous kabedon. I prefer a yukadon though :rofl:

空笑い - feigned laughter
屈託 - worry, care

星屑 (ほしくず) countless stars in the sky
火炎瓶 (かえんびん) Molotov cocktail. A bit ashamed that I couldn’t figure out the meaning from the kanji…

It’s a firefirefirebottle.

You mean fire^{fire}_{fire}.

And yeah, 火炎 is also fire.

Well sure, if you want to be holding that latex so close to all that fire.

Rubies are fireproof, right?

firefirefire

Yeah, I tried that, except when I tried to make the ruby text “fire”, it’d just vanish altogether. At least on this computer it does. “Fir” works fine, “fire” does not.

Actually, on further experimentation, it vanishes any time the ruby text exactly matches the text being, uh, rubied.

How about, fire firefire.

I was watching Chainsaw Man, and learned the word 契約 (けいやく) which means contract.

漂白剤 - ひょうはくざい - Bleach
Learnt from listening to Japanese radio where they were talking about the best way to clean kitchen sink drains :laughing:

力いっぱい (full power)

漬物屋 (つけものや) pickle store. Japan has entire stores just for pickles.

ベロチュー - French kiss

Last night I learnt:
路肩 shoulder (road)
I learnt it while watching a news special on traffic police and they were pulling people over :slight_smile:

Thought I was safe from Hegel on these forums :sob:

LMAO that is hilariously graphic somehow

Right? I accidentally learned it while reading 「放課後のアイドルには秘密がある」. The manga is way more tame than the word and title (and the covers of the volumes for that matter :joy: ) may suggest.
