Maybe it's awkward to talk about it if you're a guy but I think for a girl it's pretty normal although maybe not as something to announce at parties...
Anyway, inspired by 生理痛 I've now learnt 子宮、卵巣 and some other related words

出血大サービス
A rather worrying word until you look up what it means

pudding cat Wrote:出血大サービスFound an interesting explanation:
A rather worrying word until you look up what it means
Quote:出血には赤字という意味もあります。実際はともかく赤字を覚悟した大サービスと言うことです。The last part sounds logical in terms of etymology until you realise we talk about companies haemorrhaging money in english too too.
たぶん赤字が血の赤を連想させるとか「身銭を切る＞身を切る＞出血」というような連想で生まれた文句だと思います。

Today I got an e-mail that made me laugh, and I learned a new word in it. I booked a flight within Japan, but it ended up being cancelled because of a typhon, so I want my money back. After calling the airline itself, they advised me to contact the site where I ordered the ticket. I e-mailed them, and this was their response.
いつもご利用頂きまして誠に有難う御座います。
ご依頼の払戻の件ですが航空会社に手続きが完了いたしました。
大変お手数ですがお客様のご入金先（金融機関名、支店名、口座名義名）をメールにてお知らせ頂きます様何卒宜しくお願い致します。
It just had me laughing because the keigo and kanji use is so ridiculously over the top--especially when you're responding to a foreigner who must have made some Japanese mistakes in his original e-mail.
Anyway, I learned the word 何卒 （なにとぞ）, meaning "Please, kindly, by all means, etc."
Vocab "Today I Learned" Thread - fakewookie - 2011-06-13
I'd say the only over the top things there are the 有難う御座います and possibly the 宜しく. Everything else is pretty standard. Also, keigo is standard whenever talking to a customer.
If you want over the top, it would be something like:
何時も御利用頂きまして誠に有難う御座います。

I just learned that those stone lanterns that you see all the time in gardens and shrines are called 灯籠（とうろう).
Posting because it's so weird that I've never known the name of them, even though I've seen thousands upon thousands of them. Especially, there's that shrine in Nara near 東大寺, which has thousands upon thousands of them. I've been there three times but I can't remember the name of it, haha.

I started a new job at a company that exports beef to Japan hence why some of the words are anatomy related. Apparently I need to learn the names for all the different cuts and where they join up. I didn't bother to learn all the names for the tendons...

I heard it from 吉田-ブラマヨ on some tv show.
急く せく I think it used in this form 急いてる
but basically ariyoshi said it on london hearts~
oh wait I googled it and found it!
有吉： 早く早く上にあがんなきゃという気持ちが急いてるのか、コメントがうるさいっていうか、俺ガヤでこいつの後ろいたらほんとにマジギレしますよ。「うるせいな、黙ってろよ！」あるよねえ。
杉山： 過去に何度か、「うるせえな、デブっ」てマイク通さない奴ありますから。
有吉： 若い女の子とかアイドルの子とかが言いやすいコメントってあるでしょ。美味しいものでてきて、わぁ美味しいとか、そういう誰でも言えるコメントってあるでしょ。そう言うのは芸人さん、そういう子達に譲ってあげなきゃいけない、ほんとは。それをね、あいつ根こそぎ言うんです。芸人としてのカメラの映りにセンスがない。面白いコト言ったからカメラから抜かれました。色々あるでしょ。芸人としての映り方が。違うんですよ、ほんとに、アイドルみたいなことやりやがるんです。ほんとにコメント泥棒って言うか。
淳： 考えてない。バラエティを作ってる感じじゃないんだ。
有吉： 一般の人。
