Japanese Idiomatic Words
Link | by KIN on 2005-09-13 03:45:45
Did you know:

'te ga hayai' if translated to english means 'fast hands'
But this phrase has a deeper meaning.
In Japan, it means 'a womanizer' (just like Jiraiya for example...)

Japanese people really love vague words. Don't they?
Do you know anymore idiomatic words of Japan?

Some things are better off forgotten...unless you are unable to...

atama kakushi te shiri kakusa zu - don't cover your head and leave your bottom exposed meaning : you have to be careful not to expose your weak point while attempting to protect yourself ^_^
