I was just at lunch with all the teachers and learned the word for heartburn (むねやく)..literally chest fire..So the principal chimed in whilst the rest of the teachers were talking (this is in Japanese so thats why it was such a shock since I was filtering it through various means in my head to get the meaning..)
he blurted out
Everynight before I go to bed I eat penis and then I get the worst heartburn.
Well everyone was saying penis this and that and it was all rather shocking to my midwestern sensiblities..
after a bit more time I fine tuned my ears to hear what they were saying..
peanuts.
(no need to call Dr. Freud on this one, it was an honest mistake)
In other news, yesterday I taught at elementary school as I do on Mondays and played tag (actually its more actually the gaijin chases the kids and throws them around) I lunged at two kids standing next to each other and much like the time I faked the dog out into spinning around fast and knocking herself out on a snowbank (did this to the cat too come to think of it) the one kid cleanly headbutted the other right in the nose. It was a most delightful wet mushing sound as the hard part flattened the soft part. God I love teaching these kids (maybe tormenting is a better word)
Cheers.
