I thought the 身体(WORLD) was going to end.

• うたわれるもの

Interesting words

• ドヤ顔(がお) = self-satisfied look
• 刺々(とげとげ)しい = biting (words). Like a barb (棘(とげ)).
• 浮上(ふじょう) = rising to the surface. ふ is an On reading of barely introduced of 浮(う)く (Level 30).

• まとめ役(やく) = manager; coordinator; consensus builder. Full Kanji form is 纏(まと)め役(やく).
• 彩色(さいしき) = coloring
• 有給(ゆうきゅう) = paid holiday
• 代休(だいきゅう) = compensatory holiday
• 破綻(はたん) = breakdown; bankruptcy. The latter Kanji is also in 綻(ほころ)びる (which I had confused with 滅(ほろ)びる).
• 好転(こうてん) = changing for the better. Probably like 改善(かいぜん). Then, I learned about 暗転(あんてん).
• 三尖弁(さんせんべん) = tricuspid valve. For mitral, 二尖弁(にせんべん) is OK, but 僧帽弁(そうぼうべん) seems to be more common.

  • A counterpart is 心房細動(しんぼうさいどう), where 心房(しんぼう) is atrium.

• 分不相応(ぶんふそうおう) = beyond one’s position
• 本末転倒(ほんまつてんとう) = pulling the cart before the horse. Probably, tip (末(まつ)) before the main body (本(ほん)).
• 立(た)ち往生(おうじょう) = brought to a standstill (a deadlock). 往生(おうじょう) is passing to afterlife; so probably will die anyway…
• 質実剛健(しつじつごうけん) = simplicity and fortitude (strong mind).
• 爪(つめ)に火(ひ)をともす = to light a fire on one’s fingernails; to lead a stingy life
• 命(いのち)に別状(べつじょう)はない = life is not in danger; not life-threatening. 別条(べつじょう) is acceptable too, and suggested by IME; while the former is in context.
