(and some slang!)



Ah...

Yes...

Many words...This may be offensive, but it's helpful to know 
how people actually use the language. The definitions are 
direct from the source, listed below. The source I'm using is 
a few years old, and naturally, new slang exists today, but 
most of this is still in use.

(Source: Constantine, Peter. _Japanese Street Slang_)

I am using double letters to stand for long vowels, as I 
cannot type to the list in Japanese.

I have no comments on the words themselves, except to say that they
confirmed most of my suspicions - most of the commonly used terms are
imports. What really prompted my rant in the first place, beyond the
somewhat misplaced "yuri" in the posted fic was an exclamation in some fic
or other to the effect of "you hentai yaoi!" A construction that made me
want to claw my eyes out... (Much like self-censorship - blotted out words
and the like - in fics that are already rated R or NC-17. What _is_ the
rationale of that anyway?)
