Kawaii - the true story

[TheOneHero]

Guess what?

Japanese people don't say "Kawaii" has often as you think.

Japan is not an anime.

If you ever go, and you tell a girl "Kawaii", chances are you're going to butcher it and say, "Kowaii" which means, creepy/scary. And not just "American Horror Scary" I mean, flippin' scary.
If you say either one to a girl in Tokyo, she'll slap you. She's use to dealing with ignorant foreigners.

When you say Kawaii in America, or England, or wherever, you are really saying, "I'm never going to get laid." or "I'm an ignorant fool that thinks incorporating Japanese into my speech makes me cool."

You give whatever nationality you are, a bad name. Please, for you own good, stop.

I'd like to request my username be changed to Obsidian-dono.

Really though, that crap irritates me as well.

Kawaii.

OH SHI-

[Nitro Vordex]

I still wonder why people use that word anyways.

It just SOUNDS creepy.

[Weeaboolits]

I dunno why people like to use it so much, it's more syllables and more letters than "cute" and doesn't sound any better. :/

I think of Saner burgers when I hear it. >_>;

FKL'd

I would like to refrain from this thread going to FKL, thanks guys.

Trust me, it won't.

The Kawaii thing though...isn't it somewhat the same as with otaku, as that's considered quite offensive?
