I heard ことよろ (今年もよろしくお願いします) yesterday. I already knew あけおめ (あけましておめでとう), but that was 初耳.

To go with 最強, how about 最弱 ?

Actually, that doesn't gloss with Rikaichan. Is it really a word? I definitely saw it in actual Japanese media though.

金玉

I'm not 100% clear on whether this is slang, or is the most common term for...that part of the body. Seriously though, who's the joker that decided on those kanji? Big Grin

I cannot seriously imagine a doctor woulld use that word for testicles. But among friends it's commonly used as far as I encountered lol (even girls use that word to describe.. the balls)

I just found the word 謳歌(おうか）, and I thought the kanji were kind of cute next to each other, so I decided to post it here. It means something like to 'sing the praises of' or 'rejoice.'

It was from the sentence 「冷戦後の一人勝ちを謳歌していた米国は、テロという見えざる敵に直面することになった。」, in an article in the 日本経済新聞 that was about the broad effects and meanings of 9/11 in America and 3/11 in Japan.

I know I've been smothering people here for my ineptitude and my very first time to be parking in this forum. I hope I could get a little help here. Thank you Japanese Learners.
So why won't you do something?

Jarvik - was "ちゃほや" meant to be "ちやほや”?

Vocab "Today I Learned" Thread - Tzadeck - 2011-05-23

I don't think there's any point to posting a bunch of random regular words, is there? That seems like it's not very helpful to other people. I can go through a book or dictionary, or anything really, and find random words on my own.

Rather, if you find something interesting, or that is used often but you wouldn't find it in a textbook (or dictionary), it could be useful to forum members.

Today I learned that a housefly can live between two weeks and a month. I caught one on tape (literally - hehe), and put it into a lidded container for my own amusement. Say hi to my new pet!

絞殺 - hanging or strangulation

Never ask about the girl sitting on the chair looking like death unless you prepared for the answer.

Yeah, my ex weirded out all of my Canadian friends by openly stating at a party that she was on her period and thus didn't feel too great.

If you think about it there is nothing to be ashamed of or hide though.

Vocab "Today I Learned" Thread - Javizy - 2011-05-26

It seems to be less taboo. Some woman mentioned her period twice in a 10-minute conversation I had the other day. She's not the first one either. Like you say, it's nothing to be ashamed of, but I can't imagine hearing about it in English. It's kind of like talking about a haemorrhoid or something.
