Subject:        [FFML] Quick info needed

Here are a bunch of miscellaneous questions I have been saving up for a 

while,

I intend to use the data I gather for future fanfics, lets begin...

I don't know -HOW- that got reposted, but I have PLENTY of info on Chi 

now.

And I was thinking of something, Who needs to be a 'Hardened Black 

Belt',

hmm...more ideas, I have hereby decided that there will be no crossover 

stuff

so no people from our universe (This would make this my first non-self 

fic

that had an extra character in it).

HOWEVER. I need some translations for the fic.

1 Woman, or A woman.     I know this is something like 'oom nako' but i 

want

to spell it right.
2. A man.
3. Bad ass punch              (Ooh Can I see a special attack brewing 

here?)

1.  Onna = Woman
      Onna no hito = Female person (formal)
      Onna no ko  = female child (girl)
      shoojoo [be sure to stress the "o's"! (when speaking)] = girl

2.  Otoko = man
      Otoko no hito = male person
      otoko no ko = male child (boy)
      shonen = young boy

3.

Warui = bad
ketsu = ass, as in "jackass"
ken = punch or strike

I'm not sure of the Japanese slang, so I can't give you a real Japanese
equivilent for "Bad ass".  I hope you can use the litteral translations.

Great! His character will be using the "Fist of the Evil Donkey!"

P-word.

:Y'know, you have a real attitude problem, Mr. P-word.  

:"Ass" as the cuss-word!  The crude term!  The insult!  In anime it 
:sometimes dubbed a "jackass" because it has to 2 syllables; where the 
:literal tranlation, "ass", has one.

:So there. :P

:So watch your tongue, or I'll hit you with my Warui Ketsu Ken!  (I wonder 
:how it would meassure up the Kun-chan's *bap*s...)

:--HAYES

Hey now, the Warui Ketsu Ken is of my creation... you don't even know what it 
looks like yet! After you read the fic's you might be terrified of it ;) 
However I'm not sure WHO will get the technique. None of the character's 
really have a knack for cussing except occasionally Ranma or Ryouga, and they 
have plenty of attacks...hmm...
