If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it’s another nonconformist who doesn’t conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.

Kuchisabishii. It’s a Japanese term which literally means โlonely mouth,โ and is used to describe when you’re not hungry, but you eat anyway because your mouth is lonely. It rather poetically sums up boredom or stress induced eating, i.e., the munchies.
I find this interesting – beyond how cool the word is in and of itself – because most of us in the West tend to think of the Japanese as being very reserved and unemotional – true Stoics even – and yet, their language is filled with words that describe many emotions and emotive actions. That, going by the mainstream thoughts among linguists, indicates quite the opposite.

Take me down to the purradice city Where the catnip’s green and the girls are kitties Take me home (oh, won’t you please take me home)
Yes, Please! While I’m not that inspired by catnip – though I do grow it in my front garden to attract the neighborhood kitties – I’d love it if somehow I could be taken to where the girls are kitties. ๐
Nekomusume are Nekogami
PRO TIP: Don’t be thatWeeb! Or, if you prefer, don’t be a Baka Minikui Gaijin! Treat those Cat Daughters (Nekomusume) like the Cat Goddesses (Nekogami) that they are. You’ll go farther that way and won’t be quite so much of a painful-to-witness embarrassment.
NOTE: The much more common term would be simply Baka Gaijin (Stupid/foolish [non-Asian] Foreigner). I chose to make the point stronger by adding Minikui (ugly in the sense of being painful to see). It also is a riff on the longstanding “Ugly American” stereotype.
Also, just as a personal note on language, idiom, and the subtle shadings of meaning and expectation, I prefer Nekomusume (Cat Daughters) over the equally or more common term, Nekomimi (Cat Ears). Both, however, are in very common use when describing Cat Girls.

Exactly! It’s the nadir of both stupidity and evil to blame anyone alive today for the fact that the majority of the Blacks inside America’s borders are the descendants of chattel brought to our shores in the 16th – 19th centuries. This is especially true since it is, while statistically possible, vanishingly improbable that there is a Black alive inside America who ever even heard a direct account of slavery in the US.
But then, Blacks steal. They appropriate the pain of long lost ancestors and make it the centerpiece of their sad, twisted, self-destructive identity. As such, it is endemic to them, they blame every living White for the action of long dead and buried people.
Of course, going further with the analogy, some would claim that any apology or debt owed for Pearl Harbor to any American by the Japanese was paid off by 120,000 Japanese-Americans being interred in concentration camps by the US government in 1942. But, if we’re to hold to that, then the over 500,000 Whites who died in the Civil War was equally an apology and full payment of any debt in by our race.

Here’s a cartoon that you’ve most likely never seen – Warner Brothers’ 1943 Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs.
Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs
The reason you’ve probably never heard of, much less seen, this cartoon is because it’s one of the Censored Eleven. It’s one of eleven Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons which United Artists has banned from syndication or distribution since 1968.
Well, I say to enjoy the cartoon and, if it’s offensive to certain sorts, that’s just a bit of extra spice to the enjoyment.
