Japanese Slang and Otaku Phrases: Phrases are often gender specific in Japanese. A guy will say it different than a girl. (Same everywhere if you think about it.) SO, to eliminate the embarassing situation of using girl's words when speaking with the guys, or visa versa, I will add an (m) to denote male and an (f) to denote female phrases. If neither symbol is used, the phrase can be used by either sex. |
