Japanese Terms



Why would you need these terms? Well, in case you ever have a hankering to really piss someone off, or if there's a hot Japanese foreign exchange student named Ami. Or, just to waste time and drool at my madness of skills.

Either way, this is not done-I do not have much time to update this page, I will update the page more terms as time passes by.
