Might have forgotten:
Anime: not actually an art form, but a way of life
Ebi: shrimp…so Ebisu is a Shrimpy god?
Gaijin: cool book by Michener, almost like Shogun
Manga: Anime that does not move (also, book bound backwards)
Hasshi: what to use when there’s no s’puuun
Kanji: secret code that looks like broken noodles
Yo da: literally, “It’s a pottery wheel” but is named for The Greatest Ultimate Anti-Pokem0n ever conceived (GUAPO)
Yoshinoya: One of the better Mexican-run food franchises in Southern California
