Yep. Here’s one I saw at Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Not shown: the store to the left of this one that’s just for rice, the one across the way that’s just for miso paste, and the one further along that’s just for katsuobushi.
才望 – possibly witnessing the birth of a new compound word? My IME and Jisho do not accept it, goo to the rescue.
（才能＋人望）
「自害しろ」
real ones will know. cold blooded!!!
Realized: ぬいぐるみ、あみぐるみ. “Sewn together” and “knit together.” (Ironically amigurumis are crocheted, not knit.)
How about きぐるみ?
Or 鬼胡桃? 
編む can also refer to crocheting, and あみぐるみ can also be knitted. 
“Wear together?”
…I got nothing here…
While the fiber artist in me wants to insist that there should be two different words, becasue they’re not the same thing gosh darn it, the logical part of me know that most people don’t know the difference.
Are those costumes knitted, or crocheted? Inquiring minds want to know.
If it helps, the home economics club at my school has been working on knitting and crocheting, and they use かぎ針編み for crochet, vs 棒針編み for knitting. Usually they drop the 針 and just say かぎ編み and 棒編み for short.
They’re sewn and worn 
着包み if you want as full kanji as it goes
かぎ針編み着包み
terrifying but a good way to stay warm while trick or treating I guess?

-
迸る・ほとばしる・to surge; to well up; to gush out (commonly spelled using kana)
-
ほとぼり・remaining heat; remaining excitedment
- ほとぼりが冷める・ほとぼりが冷める・excitement dies down; things calm down; commotion settles
I was looking up some of the lyrics in 残酷な天使のテーゼ, particularly the part that goes
迸る熱いパトスで (with surging, hot pathos)
The word 迸る interested me. The meaning and pronunciation gave me the sense that it was probably ほと + 走る, so I looked up ほと … and found that it was an archaic word meaning “female genitalia”.
At this point, I figured that either I was mistaken about the word’s etymology, or that language had changed to the point that the word could not be analyzed in such a straightforward way.
However, a quick search for “ほとばしる” + “語源” turns up quite a few sites claiming that this is indeed what the word originally meant. However, other sites seem to point to ほと being an old word for fireplace, and that this word is the origin of both ほと and ほとばしる.
I’m not sure how to judge the reliability of these sites, but I don’t think I’ll forget this word too quickly.
While looking into this word, I also came across ほとぼり, meaning “remaining heat/enthusiasm/fervor”. The ほ supposedly comes from 火, “fire” (which might make it related to ほと and ほとばしる), while とぼり comes from とほり, which is an older form of 通り.
This word is quite interesting, because it seems to have a very specific useage, which would have made it difficult for me to discover if I were trying to translate something into Japanese.
ほとぼり is primarily used in phrases such as ほとぼりが冷める, meaning roughly “interest is dying down” or “things are cooling down”. An example sentence from Weblio is:
事件のほとぼりが冷めるまで東京へは戻ってくるな。
Stay away from Tokyo until the public excitement over the affair dies down.
張り切る because I almost mistook it for 腹切り lol
その兵士張り切り過ぎれば腹切してしまった。。。
Knowing Evangelion, that’s not too surprising
-
惹く・ひく・to attract (attention, sympathy, interest, etc.)
-
めげる・to feel discouraged
-
衰える・おとろえる・to become weak; to decline; to wither
-
劣る・おとる・to be inferior (to); to be less good (at something); to fall behind
-
身になる・みになる・to be beneficial; to do one good; to be good for the body
Again, I came across these while trying to pick out words from catchy anime songs, albeit somewhat indirectly:
The first comes from DAN DAN 心惹かれてく, which means something like “You are gradually charming my heart”.
I presume that 「惹かれてく」 is the truncated form of 「惹かれていく」, and the meaning makes a lot of sense: 惹く can also be spelled 引く, and I assume that it is essentially the same word, albeit more abstract.
「めげる」 comes from お願いマッスル; a song I’d never heard before today, but which instantly qualified for my work-out playlist.
While looking into the word めげる, I found 衰える listed as a synonym, which in in turn is derived from the same root as 劣る.
While trying to think of a mnemonic, I started wondering if the おと in 劣る might be connected to the おと in 弟. A quick search shows that others have made the same connection, but I didn’t find any conclusive evidence. Either way, it will help me remember.
The word めげる appeared in the following sentence:
めげそうな時思い出して
When you feel you’re going to become discouraged, remember:
努力が実になれば魅力
When hard work comes to fruition, it becomes appeal
I really liked this quote, and wondered if it was a common saying. However, the search results mostly seem to point to the lyrics of this song.
The lyrics I’ve found use the spelling 実になれば, which some sources suggest is actually a misspelling of 身になれば, but it does make a lot of sense.
… although since the song is all about wanting to grow muscle, it would also make a lot of sense to sing about hard work becoming flesh.
はい、サイドチェット！！！！！
this mix has been on my gym playlist for yonks. Maybe I should try and read it lol. I don’t even know the muscle groups in english though let alone JPN…
