What does ƒLƒ‚‚¢‚º mean?

[Yokohammer]

Er, yeah....sorry 'bout that.

Did I say "prickly little hairs"?
Sorry, I meant to say "hairy little ...", oh never mind ...

Just kidding

And where erai means "to be tired". Not like those freaks in Hokkaido saying kowai all the time after a long day.

Indeed, here too on the Aichi-side of the Kiso, to be erai is to be tired, in fact Chubu has some major ~ben drift across the borders with proximity to Kansai and what not...

Finally, you acknowledge your own ignorance at the language.

seriously, WTF?

Insecure much?

How long did you spend stewing over that truly convoluted attempt at face saving... Are you some kind of aspiring uber-nerd who in spite of just not getting it, won't give up?

You explanation/justification and hissy fit dismissal of this forum and its members, many like me long termers, is just, well adolescent...

nail,head, hit, no?

--waaaarrgaaaarblllll-(Go have a look at the Mitsubishi logo, or the origin of the JR Suica card, those are the best ones I can think of at the moment)--waaaaarrrrrgarrrblllllllll

Never read anything special aboot the mitsu logo, ok, it didn't pop out of a cow's bunghole... But there is nothing exceptional, and sort of tame even compared to the Auto Union one...

As mentioned before, I am not here to tell you that you were wrong, but rather that you are a bunch of narrow-minded kids (mentally), that jump any opportunity to pick a fight if their pride is hurt.

Well, you spelled "practicing" the wrong way.

[BigInJapan]

Well, you spelled "practicing" the wrong way.

Nope, "practising" actually is the correct spelling (for me, and an whole lot of other non-Americans out there).
FYI - http://www.world-english.org/practise_practice.htm

...you are a bunch of narrow-minded kids (mentally)

Mentally? Is that as opposed to being narrow-minded physically?
I thought I was pretty up-to-date with the current vernacular. Kids these days...

Yur wrong again. We are not ""a bunch of narrow-minded kids!" Now if you'd had said narrow-minded pricks, ya had us!

Sorry, looks like my irony generator is on the fritz again. Gotta run it over to Bic Camera for a repair (hope it's still under warranty).

There is never one answer to liguistic issues. If there was, we would still be practising Prescriptivism as we did 300 years ago.
I am not here to argue with a couple of Americans that probably lived in Japan for some time and believe they have a better command of the language than a native speaker.

As mentioned before, I am not here to tell you that you were wrong, but rather that you are a bunch of narrow-minded kids (mentally), that jump any opportunity to pick a fight if their pride is hurt.

Calling me a prescriptivist is the most laughable shit I've heard in a long time.
First, I have a BA and MA in Ling. from a functional camp. I have forgot more about linguistic analysis than you have ever known. I studied directly under Talmy Givon. If you don't know who that is, you don't know shit about linguistics.

Second, I have done syntactic-semantic and phonological analysis on literally hundreds of languages and more often than THERE IS one answer to a linguistic issue. Let me guess, you have a few years of Japanese under your belt and recently took Intro to Linguistic Analysis. So now you're fucking expert. Am I close?
BTW I gave my analysis of your example only after consulting my wife who is a Japanese instructor by trade. I only commented on the syntactic structure, nothing else.

Finally, I, like many posters here, have lived a life intertwined with Japanese society for more than decade and have put my rose colored Wapanese glasses down a long time ago. So go back to Gaijinpot and project your insecurities on the assholes over there. Thank you.

That depends, with or without benefits?

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

Well, I'm not a cunning linguist, but I agree with what Yarichin said....

[Mike Oxlong]

When you boil down her last rant to its bare essentials, she basically called us all "FGs". I take it as rather a compliment...

That would be yer call... Are you allergic to cat's hairs ?

[Coligny]

Sankyuuu!

Pulleeeazo...I really can't stand this fucked up trend from locals saying this instead of the japanese word... That's not 'influence' from a fureign language, that's erosion... In a pathetic way... The French Canadians would certainly jail you over this kind of behaviour...

[Samurai_Jerk]

As a cunning linguist and master debator I have to agree with Yarichin too.

[McTojo]

As a cunt and a linguist and masturbater I have to agree with Yarichin too.

I agree with Yarichin-chin too! Keep it cumming.

Damn... 4 posts and they were out...

Is that a record here on FG?
