This post is totally not about prostitutes
The article she mentions is really quite interesting. Here are a few of the more interesting words/phrases it containeth:
- 寝技一本 (newaza ippon): "Refers to being good in bed. When an amazingly beautiful man marries or dates a horrible woman, people will say, 'her newaza ("'sleep'-trick") got her that one.'"
- 晩晩婚 (banbankon): marriage after the age of 35. This is a comic redoubling of the ban ("evening") of long-established Japanese word bankon (晩婚, "evening [i.e. late] marriage"), which disturbs me a little due to the low cutoff age.
- MKIN -- pseudo-acronym for makeinu, "loser dog", which is used (by some!) to refer to unmarried women over 30... hey, I don't build the society, I just live in it.
- Memorial Sex-less -- When the two parties to a "sexless riage" say things like "Okay, if the Hanshin Tigers win!" or "When it's our anniversary!" in an attempt to tie sex to specific events and thus make it more likely, but don't actually go through with it.
Okay, I'd better stop before I start to cry, or option this article and turn it into an inspiring cinematic experience in which three small-town gals realize that their friendship is worth more than any man could ever be.
