Here's a new drinking game. Additions appreciated....
The Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction *Error* Drinking Game
[snippity-snip-snip]
"-kun" and "-chan" treated as if they meant "male" and "female" 1 drink
... "Ranma-chan" used as a name by a regular cast member 2 drinks
... "-kun" and "-chan" used for any other male/female character 2 drinks
O.K. I need some help here, I think.
-kun is an honorific for a male that the person speaking to knows well.
Right? Or not?
-chan is an honorific that is predominantly used for females, though a
wife/girlfriend can/does use it with her male partner. Right or not?
-chan also can be used for children of either sex. Right or not?
And what/how would you adress an unknown adult female? I guess I'm
looking for the equivelent of 'Ma'm'. onna-san?
