Hmmmmm.....*

ok i'm done pondering.....

yep, japanese, jbp: means "more" in as many words.

Ciaran, no, no more anatomy lab for me. since july i've been out in the clinics/hospitals. this rotation is pretty slow (family practice) thus plenty of time to pick up on internet memes and to dissect your usage of English

Well, at least it's you and not Mack dissecting my usage of English.

I realized looking thru the pictures that for the most part the sayings on them make NO sense what-so-ever. Some are extremely obsecure references and others are weird references to animal genitalia.

Why has this E-language become so popular? What about it makes it funny? For the most part it can only be exclusively used on the internet and doesn't transfer to conversational english very well.

It's would be an interesting psycological study for someone to really dig deeper into this.

ok so that was my misc. musings for the day.

personally I think your just getting to old!!!

that'd be "hayaku!" if an order as in "hurry up!", or "mou hayai" or something similar. sukoshi can also mean "a little bit"...

You're good. I thought JBP was just going senile. I always use that when I want to say "just a bit more", like when someone is serving you food and they think they've given you enough but you want "mou sukoshi". I could just be a spastic though and on questions of Japanese you all should listen to Toshi as he can actually speak the language instead of mangling it like I do.

ya, "mou sukoshi" at a restaurant definitely is "a little bit more". "mou ichido" = "[repeat it] again!". "mou ippai" if you want another one, and the "one" is shaped like a beer -- in japanese objects are counted using different words depending on how they are shaped, weird, eh?

wow, i'm confused by these HARBL jibber jabber
