Is there a reason people don't use "butt" as a meaning for "flag"? - Rujiel - 2009-12-30
It seems like such a colorful primitive, and is etymologically true on occasion. But I see almost no-one utilizing it as such in stories. Is there some reason (maybe "butt" is more useful for someone else later on)?

Only because they didn't know about i'm guessing. Are you referring to the top part of 尻?

If you have urine coming from your butt, you may want to consult a doctor.

"Butt" can make a great primitive meaning. I associated it with the *crotch* primitive. I'm not native english so the link between crotch/behind/butt wasn't difficult to make.
@bodhisamaya: looks good, but is not a reliable mnemonic in RtK terms, unless you meant to associate the image of "pee" or "peeing" with the 尸 component.

Kind of crude, but I did use 尸ee as the primitive instead of flag in some stories.
尼 A nun will 尸ee sitting
遅 There was a sheep 尸eeing in the road so I had to slow down and wait
漏 Taking a leak: 尸ee water falls like rain

名古屋 smells like pee? (It doesn't, but Osaka does)

Ah, good times.

Coincidentally I used to live in the middle of the Nagoya red light district (the Kabukicho of Nagoya if you will). Korean shemale prostitutes roaming the streets ftw.

Because I am 5, this whole thread made me laugh.
I have nothing substantial or useful to add.

Or, since this is Japanese, I should probably say, いえいえ、まじめに勉強していますが、漢字が全然分からないほどあほです。Jarvik7さんのコメントを読めなくて返事をするためにでたらめの日本語の文章をコピーしてメッセジー・ボックスにペーストするんです。

I use corpse/butt instead(but since kanji-wise it looks like a flag, i use Flag where helpful (e.g for fence) , since that is what it actually means. Think of doing an autopsy on a corpse by entering in the anus. This will work wonders, believe me. So primtives = Anus/Corpse or the anus of a corpse. Story: Urine comes out of a corpse's anus during an autopsy. you see the water etching out, it isnt just 3 drops trickling, but actual water!

mud
Spoon out some excess mud from a corpse's anus during an autopsy, all while the nun is praying for his return.

I don't know whether I should laugh or be scared
Maybe both!

A nun simply being indicated as having a spoon up her butt, and then indicated to be mudfighting when splashed with water, seems a lot more memorable than spooning mud out of a corpse's anus..

A corpse's anus? XD That makes me feel sick rather than laugh. :lol:
