Hi, Juan!  Hi, everybody!  :D

I was searching a little bit and talked with two friends who made
their post-doctorship in Tokyo.  Well, you are correct:  "Kutabare"
means "fall dead!" and "Shine"  (pronounce: something like "sheene")
means "die!", "go to Hell!" and similar expressions.  In Japan, they
use "Engurishu"  (English in "Engurishu", haha!!)  and the young
people usually say "Fuck You", but the sound is a bit strange, more or
less, "Fa~ku".

In countries where existed Japanese immigration, some of the old
"nihongo"  (Japanese language)  expressions were kept until now
("bendjou" isn't used in Japan actually, but is still used here
instead of "toeere" - toilet in "Engrish")  or were used in a
different sense  ("kutabare" is used as "fuck you" in some countries,
because it's more offensive than "die!").

Kisses!  :*

PS:  -  John, I love you and your messages, but I answer later because
I am almost "kutabareying"  - haha!! -  now, sorry.  Do you know the
history behind the New LW&C?  It's a fucking sad story, but its
background is very funny and  - wow! -  has very unexpected
connections with the Brazilian football  (Sorry, I prefer to use the
word "football" like in Europe.  It's ridiculous to call "football" a
sport where the guys use the hands and the arms to take the ball in
the whole game, aff...  And "soccer" is a word so meh, so
North-American...)  :-/

Mirimir sent me more amazing books suggestions in private a time ago,
John.  He is amazing, loves books and is my best imaginary friend.  I
do love him and I am calling him "my pineapple" the whole month of
October, because "my pumpkin" is already grarpamp, hahaha!!  ;D
