Japanese word of the day.

[aide]

Watching the Making of My Girl and Ohno's explaining where all the parts of Mom's face come from.

Ohno: In this picture of mom, out of the parts of her face, which one is mine? The eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, the lips? The inkaku?
Camera guy: Uh... the eyes?
Ohno: Boo. The answer is the eyebrows. The mouth is Nino's, the nose is Aiba-chan's, the eyes are Sho-chan's and the inkaku is Matsumoto-san's.

I'm watching and thinking, wtf is inkaku, so I go to my trusty Goo Dictionary and type in いんかく and this is what pops up:

いんかく　陰核

the clitoris.

I'm pretty sure that's not the part Jun contributed to Mom's photo. But hot damn, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

PS. He actually says rinkaku, the outline/profile of her face.

PPS. I love that Sho says something that gets beeped out. Japanese doesn't even have swear words as far as I'm concerned. But you can't say "big dump" on TV (脱糞, dappun). Go figure.

PPPS. AIBA HAS A GAY SILVER PURSE.

I'll not lie, my eyes went really wide when I saw that. And then I started giggling going wtfwtfwtf oh no Arashi even you cannot be that epic

(phew.)

That's EXACTLY what I did too. XD

And I want to know what the HELL Sho said that got beeped out. I'm of the opinion that Japanese doesn't even HAVE bad enough words to warrant beeping out.

This is quickly becoming a very adult PV for me. LOL

Okay so I haven't watched it, but all this is very interesting to discover. I would never have suspected it of My Girl. LOL. Value-added experience when I do get around to watching it.

I agree. But not really a mistake you want to be making in conversation with a Japanese person. O_O That reminds me I should read that book my friend gave me for Christmas last year, "Collection of Great Foreigner's Japanese Mistakes" or "Japanese Made Funny" (English title). But I doubt that's in there.
