火花 (hibana) = sparks
I had already learned
花火 (hanabi) = fireworks
so it was interesting to see this inversion

誤解 ＝ ごかい。
It means miscommunication, I hear it a lot at work when my listening/comprehension skills fail me and I respond to a question that nobody asked.
Aさん：どこに住んでいますか？
僕：カナダから。
Aさん: …ごかいです

Well it’s not the most recent word but most recently one I learned that been used 外人 which pops up often on reddit subs lol.
噂[うわさ] - Rumor
野良[のら]うさぎ - Stray rabbit
喧嘩[けんか] - Quarrel
舐[な]める - To take lightly / underestimate (also to lick). The kanji is rare enough to not even be in RTK 3 so I assume it’s the result of getting your subs from a Chinese subgroup.
Can anyone guess what I just watched?
Not exactly the most recent, but a satisfying one all the same…
引き分け, a couple of days ago on WK. The elementary school I work at had its 運動会 on Saturday and I was able to pick out the word after one of the events was a draw. Little steps!

Decided to look into the kanji of a band called 夢遊病者 (む.ゆう.びょう.しゃ)
dream play sickness person
Sleepwalker!
That said, don’t look up the band unless you’re into weird psychedelic-sounding metal.
Hey cool, that one is in WaniKani! I never would have thought!

定める, to establish.
But I’d like to mention 及ぼす, “to exert” (a word I also didn’t know in English tbh), that I recently learned and already hate. Both things are due to 力を及ぼす, that appears in the definition of 作用. “To bring to bear power”??? ;_; What??? Is it like when you turn on a machine and the power is on?
Just found another one of these:
若人（わこうど）young person

落花生 (らっかせい) = peanut, or something which grows when its flower falls to the ground. Makes perfect sense if you’ve seen how a peanut grows. Although maybe most people say ピーナッツ, I don’t know.
